The SFPD has not been “defunded”.
> For the proposed 2021-22 budget, the San Francisco Police Department’s allocation will decrease by $6 million, from about $668 million to $661 million. Those cuts can nearly all be attributed to decreased demand for police at the airport. However, in the following fiscal year, the city projects the police budget will increase once again to $689 million. That’s close to the police budget’s all-time high of $692 million in FY 2019-20. By way of comparison, in FY 2010-11, the police budget weighed in at $445 million.

- pjlegato 5y agoOn the contrary; London Breed cut the SFPD budget by $120 million in 2020[1]. They are nearly 50% below "fully staffed" officer levels. Ask any SFPD officer about this, or call a station. They're generally happy to complain and tell you all about it.
