captains have made great changes and making sure travelers and visitors who come to san francisco are protected. probably some of the finest officers accepted in the street by visitors would be an officer on bicycle. these guys do great pr work in addition to having the flexibility of going through traffic. the captains have always kept open forums with the community and meet regularly. we are very fortunate and i think some of the other places the city gets shorted but we have never been treated better since the time i have been at fisherman s wharf. thank you. thank you very much. i am from work for the elderly. thank you for bringing the police commission meeting to this community so are residents have a chance to talk to you directly. our seniors are very concerned about their safety, so we want to make sure the commission is allocating adequate resources to central station to keep our communities safe. we are especially worried about the recent scams that have target

us because we have a lot to do. we form this group for many reasons, but primarily to address crime and nuisance from the broadway corridor. it is completely out of hand. i ve lived in the neighborhood for almost 20 years now and i can t tell you how many times i have been told that s just broadway and that s the way it is. that is not the case. it is horrible right now. it s a war zone and it s not fair to those of us who live there. it is not safe. we are afraid. we on property and we don t know what to do. i know the police are trying to do the best they can and thank you. i know the chief has allocated more resources to the corridor and that is helping. we have a lot of work to do they re getting the guns off the street and dealing with problem clubs and those who stay in the neighborhood after closing areas and work their ways into the residential areas and urinate on residential doors and people are found with guns right outside on the garden steps. it s very scary. one
