>> this public safety strategy was led by mayor london breed and made possible by prop e, allowing for an increase of use of technology by the police department. >> if you're committing a crime, you're going to be caught. >> the first batch was installed three months ago. mayor breed said these cameras are helping san francisco collaborate with other cities so far, we've already used what we have to make arrests in retail theft cases, as well as a rape that happened in another city. >> so when people in the bay area and different jurisdictions , they put out information, we could type it into our license plate reader and make models of cars, whether they have license plate or not, and they will ping us the information and the different intersections and the locations. >> with more surveillance also comes pushback. one of the groups against these cameras is the electronic frontier foundation. >> alps are a form of dragnet surveillance. they record everyone's movements all across the city. they don't just record

the movements of criminals and help stop crimes, but they're also recording every swear me and you go. >> they're also concerned of a possible hack. >> this creates a large repository of people's locations, which, you know, could go back for several months depending on how long sfpd decides to keep it. and it could represent some really, personal information. >> mayor breed said she's aware of the privacy concerns, but said these cameras are not being used for moving violations and they don't use facial recognition technology. >> our goal is safety. our goal is not to invade somebody's privacy, but at the end of the day, we need this type of technology and these type of tools in order to protect the public. and there are trade offs. >> san francisco is using a $17.3 million grant from the state to create this network of cameras. the remaining 300 cameras are set to be installed by the end of july in san

this. security cameras show the moment a man grabbed a staff member at the pinole public safety building yesterday afternoon. now she was able to break free. the man then jumped over the counter as you saw there and through the window. then chased after her down a hallway. officers responded and arrested the man. there's a different angle there. he faces several charges, including burglary, kidnaping, false imprisonment and assault. the victim was not seriously hurt. >> new developments in oakland, where police chief floyd mitchell held his first news conference today since taking the job to announce the arrest of several suspects involved in home invasions and burglaries. abc seven news reporter anser hassan. with what we know tonight about the suspects. chief mitchell is calling these arrests significant. >> he says they're related to a recent surge in home invasions and commercial burglaries and robberies. >> our community resource officers, our crime reduction team officers and our patrol officers have been working diligently to identify and apprehend individuals and groups

responsible for a large number of crimes within our city. >> oakland police chief floyd mitchell says two separate groups of adults and juveniles were arrested, responsible for more than 30 burglaries from january to april. they're also suspects involved in 20 other felony crimes around the bay area. last month, two more juveniles associated with these groups were arrested. those two were involved in 20 separate robberies and burglaries, mostly in the hegenberger area, mainly targeting fast food restaurants and gas stations. police say there's no evidence that these groups are actively recruiting juveniles. >> we have not seen any evidence that these individuals, either these four or any other individuals, are being recruited in uh- traffic, as it were, to commit crimes in our community. it appears as though there are small groups acting in concert. i don't see or we haven't seen uh- it as a larger effort or criminal effort. uh- a larger, coordinated criminal effort in our city as for the home invasions, police say one suspect targeted homes in the

highland park neighborhood. >> the suspect would park his car blocks away and scope out homes. police say they don't know why he picked these specific homes, but say community assistance played a big part in their case. >> the good thing is we have the help from the community, the biggest thing that we've been, that have assisted us in our cases is the utilization of video surveillance cameras throughout our neighborhoods and also so the calls that we're getting from our neighbors with regards to the commercial burglaries and robberies, police say they are thankful that no one was injured since the suspect, some of whom were 17 years old, were armed in oakland , anser hassan. >> abc seven news. >> happening tomorrow. another rally is planned at regional medical center in san jose. earlier this year, it was announced the trauma center would be closing in august, citing a decline in people using it. some in the community feel this could hurt those who are low income or uninsured. the hospital's emergency room will remain open. the closest trauma center would be santa clara valley medical center, which is

manager of championship teams, with the lakers helping build the showtime dynasty, drafting magic johnson, later bringing in shaquille o'neal and kobe bryant. but bay area basketball fans will certainly remember that west joined the warriors front office and helped build the team that we know today. we dug into our abc seven news archives for a clip of the news conference when he was announced in 2011. >> i see the fans up here and i see a real opportunity to build a team up here. they are so close to having a good team and i think the best thing in the world about life is when somebody feels like you can help. >> west was with the warriors for their championships in 2015 and 17. someone who knew west well is abc seven news sports director larry beil. >> he was not only an incredible basketball player that it only scratches the surface of jerry west's legacy. he was an incredible executive and ambassador for the game and just a fountain of knowledge. i had

the opportunity to watch a game with him and i was just, like, in awe of how he looked at the game and what he was seeing versus what i thought i knew when i was watching the tv. >> west went into basketball hall of fame as a player in 1980, and again as a member of the gold medal winning 1960 us olympic team. in 2010. he will be enshrined for a third time later this year as a contributor and another interesting part of west legacy is that his silhouette is considered to be the basis of the nba logo that you can see behind me. that's his silhouette. abc seven news reporter ryan curry has that part of the story. >> the nba logo looks simple a red and blue backdrop with the player silhouette, a silhouette resembling one former athlete who went on to change the game for decades. >> there wasn't a better clutch player in the history of the nba other than jerry west. >> west died wednesday at the age of 86 after an accomplished playing career. he became general manager of the lakers in the mid 1980s. they won five nba

titles and drew the nickname showtime to keep doing what jerry west did to never accepting second best, to never fading into the background. >> he just kept going. he just kept winning. >> in 2011, warriors owner joe lacob hired him as an adviser. dieter kurtenbach with the mercury news says that hire changed everything. >> any person who was with those warriors teams to a man, to a woman would tell you that it was his influence that steered the warriors from being the laughingstock of the nba to becoming not just champions, but dynastic champions. >> kurtenbach also told me the warriors called themselves golden state because they wanted to increase their brand exposure throughout northern california because the quality on the court was so bad. well, that brand exposure certainly came the moment west stepped in the building. >> you can make the argument that this is joe lacob's best decision, and i don't think that's being a prisoner of the moment, and i don't think that's being hyperbolic in the wake of

today's news, he was there when the warriors signed kevin durant and he was also there to stop the warriors from trading a splash. >> brother, there's an offer for the warriors to trade klay thompson for kevin love. >> jerry west came in and put his foot down and said i'll quit if you do this. the warriors paid tribute to him at chase center today. >> jerry lived an incredible life. clearly one of the great figures in nba history. many think his legacy will live on for a long time in san francisco. >> ryan curry, abc seven news. >> stanford's former head football coach nearly lost his home to a fast moving fire. now he's warning everyone to be proactive to protect their property also ahead. >> we are not going to have the starter home neighborhood and then the expensive neighborhood, and then the affordable housing on the on the corner by the highway. >> that's the ceo of california forever. what could be solano counties newest city? will it be th new and affordable? stay with

that with it being this close, does it jump the driveway? tyrone willingham, the former stanford head football coach, lives just next door to it. >> my landscaper came and said, something's going on, okay? and then i run around the corner to see what he's talking about. and then as soon as you turn the corner, you see this billow of smoke and you say, that's a problem. >> allen, who owns and lives next to the property, said contractors were working on a fence when their tools hit rebar and sparked a fire. the fire was moving quickly. >> luckily, we had cut the grass about ten days prior to this incident happening. >> a measure that santa clara county fire officials saved not just allen's home, but the rest of her community. >> any structures that you have, we highly recommend cutting the grass down below four inches uh- getting down to dirt if you can, make sure your shrubs, or your dead.

basically what we want to do is eliminate any fuel, in that area because that will help create that defensible space that we're looking for. >> though california has seen plenty of rain in the last couple of years, officials say more acres are likely to burn because there's more vegetation. >> when a fire occurs, it moves so fast that by the time the fire suppression crews get on scene, we're trying to find the edges and put it out. we're trying to stop the fire. so this is where the defensible space really helps. >> whether you live near an open space like this one that burned or have a home in the city, fire officials want everyone this year to stay proactive, willingham said. this close call is a reminder to himself and hopes others also receive the message. >> regardless of what zone you're in. if you have the dry vegetation, if you add dead plants, it's highly recommended to go ahead and mitigate those and get rid of those because that will always help in los gatos. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> all right. and you know, we're dealing with some heat during the summer because this way goes. >> it is although it did ease a

little bit. and the question is how long will that last? meteorologist sandyha patel is here. sandy. >> i guess we're not technically in summer yet. sandhya. that's right. >> we're there. okay, on the 20th is when we'll get there. ama and dan. let's take a look at it right now from our mount tam cam, our marine influence is certainly there. feeling like summer because of the marine layer, today's temperatures were anywhere from the low 60s to the mid 80s. but places like brentwood getting up into the low 90s. the marine layer bringing cooler weather along with the sea breeze. 16 degree drop right now compared to 24 hours ago in concord. you're feeling it in livermore. 19 degrees cooler down 13. in santa rosa it is gusty right now and 31 miles an hour in napa, 30 sustained in san francisco out towards the delta. look at that. 27 to 31 miles an hour. that's going to keep this cooling trend going. you can see certainly the breezy conditions along the embarcadero from our roof camera here overnight tonight, fog and low clouds tomorrow cooling

continues. and sunday afternoon into monday it is going to get gusty. higher fire danger. but we're not expecting offshore winds at this point. so that will at least keep the humidity up. it's just the winds are going to start to dry out further. the finer fuels, the flashier fuels, the grasses. that's what the concern is. so keep that in mind. tomorrow morning, 8:00. inland areas are sunny in the 60s, eventually 70s and 80s around the bay. partly cloudy, upper 50s warming up into the mid 60s. by noon, and low 70s into about 5:00 in the afternoon. coast side. you're going to see a lot of fog and low clouds to start the day low 50s coming up into the mid and upper 50s on live doppler seven. you can certainly see the fog and low clouds along the coastline. two things going on. this area of low pressure deepen the marine layer and brought the cooling. today, high pressure is taking a back seat. this low is going to reinforce the cooling as we head towards the next day or so from our bay bridge toll

plaza. gray skies right now 54 degrees in the city, 59. in oakland, you're at 67. san jose, 54, in half moon bay. and from our sfo camera, visibility is still good right now. mid 50s santa rosa, petaluma 59 fairfield, low 60s concord and livermore. first thing tomorrow morning you're going to see a lot of fog, a lot more than today, 40s and 50s on those temperatures tomorrow afternoon in the south bay. a lot of sun, but really not quite as warm as it has been in days past. 75 in gilroy, 80, in san jose, on the peninsula, you're looking at 76. in redwood city, upper 50s coast side, where the fog will hang around just like it will in daly city, 63 downtown san francisco, north bay temperatures 74. in san rafael 72, napa 79 in santa rosa heading into the east bay 67, oakland 76, castro valley inland areas. you're going to be in the 70s to 80s. 81 in livermore, 79 in concord, 80 degrees for you in pleasanton. now here comes the wind. sunday in the morning it gets gusty

along the coast. but watch those winds coming up about 50 miles an hour on the coast sunday night. and then as we head into monday, still remaining gusty. that is what's bringing the fire concern later on in the week. the accuweather seven day forecast for now, humidity stays up, temperatures are down, then they bounce back. friday. cooler as we head towards father's day weekend with that fire danger coming up sunday into monday and then next week things will quiet down once again. dan and anna. >> sorry to see that wind. yeah i mean, it's part of where we are right now. >> springtime. >> thanks, andy. >> we're in spring. yes, summer just yet. feels like summer. yes, but summer time activities kicked off today at san francisco city's civic center plaza. san francisco's public defender's office officially launched its magic summer program. 500 children pre-registered for the summer events. the program is designed to make learning fun. it exposes kids to stem art, literacy, and recreational activities, and is designed to prevent summer learning loss.

remains using that foil or any smoking apparatus over and over again may increase the risk of a fatal overdose. >> this could be particularly dangerous to someone who has never tried fentanyl or a person who has not developed a tolerance for the drug. when smoked, fentanyl acts differently than heroin, so the temperatures that people are using now to smoke fentanyl, all the heroin would be destroyed. >> but fentanyl is heat stable? it's very tough. >> doctor daniel cerone is a professor of addicted medicine at ucsf who, along with a team of seven researchers, spent three weeks on the streets surveying fentanyl users. >> people sharing pipes. what what is the leftover stuff? what do people do with it? how do they collect it? do they share it? do they save it for later? what they found was alarming. >> fentanyl users were keeping or collecting foils to get high off the residue, fentanyl users told researchers. there is a

distinction between foil, a pipe and a bong. when it comes to delivering a stronger high, so the bong being the most dangerous bong is the most dangerous. >> this is rapid and it's a high dose. >> we found people who were willing to show us their equipment. this man uses foil to smoke fentanyl, but then switches to a pipe to exclusively smoke meth. could i ask you about this aluminum foil? how many times have you used that? do you think so? >> i would say it's been used probably more than ten times. >> foil, syringes and other drug paraphernalia are usually included in harm reduction kits distributed for free by a number of nonprofit organizations as a way to avoid sharing. it has been controversial. >> if smoking is seen as harm reduction, then yes, we need clean paraphernalia, just like in the days of hiv where we invented syringe exchange fable, idris told us. >> ironically, some people out here are more concerned about the hypothetical link between

aluminum foil and alzheimer's disease than overdosing. however, many of the people who live in these neighborhoods, including children, may have to worry about the litter that may be on their streets, endangering their lives. and fentanyl is such a different drug that it's the only one where users went from injecting it to smoking it. it's usually the other way around, and right now the vast majority of users smoke it. this trend started on the west coast. ucsf researchers are concerned that this trend will eventually spread throughout the rest of the country. lyanne melendez abc seven news. >> we want to make sure you know if you or someone you are close to is struggling with substance abuse issues, there is help. we've put together a list of local resources. just go to our website abc seven news.com slash. take action. >> a global peace summit is getting some celebrity publicity thanks to a post from madonna. >> there may not be much of anything we all agree on these

congestion. another big concern for highway 12, paired with, of course, the cost of fixing it. six months ago, you talked about expanding highway 12 and 113 and what's called the transportation guarantee. that's in your initiative. but congressman john garamendi and others are still concerned taxpayers will be picking up the tab here. is that true? >> i mean, we know that congestion is a huge issue. traffic is a huge issue in solano county. i know it personally. i live here with my wife and two little kids, and so we experience it daily, we are fortunate to have a short commute. that's not the case for most residents in solano county, and the traffic has been getting worse every year for the last 20 years. and this plan is by far the best opportunity to bring jobs to where they are needed, right here to solano county and we have announced exciting news on that front. we've committed to bring 15,000 jobs here that pay way more than the jobs that are here right now. and those jobs would be a ten, 15, 20

minute commute for people living in fairfield and vacaville and dixon and rio vista and suisun city, and just a little bit longer for people living in benicia and vallejo. and so we would be able to take so much traffic off the i-80, and actually make the situation better here. that's why we announced 12 major employers and 1400 jobs in the in the solar farm. >> but will the company be picking up the tab here or will taxpayers be partially responsible, no. taxpayers in solano county other than the people living in the new community, would be contributing any money towards improving, the highways, we have already committed to provide right of way and to provide a significant share of the funding, which will be determined by caltrans, that money can then be combined with state and federal funds to help pay for the improvements, as well as with innovative, methods for financing the construction, that are built on the idea that we'll be able to keep many, many more jobs in california instead of sending them off to texas.

and florida, but none of that contribution will be coming from anyone in solano county. it's really building a new economic engine here in solano county, so that solano county can start getting its fair share of transportation dollars from the state and the federal level, which historically it has not received since day one. >> a big part of your focus has been on affordable housing. what do you see as the ideal price point for a single family home in this new city? >> you know, i don't know that there's such a thing as an ideal price point. we are really committed to building deeply integrated neighborhoods, where people from all walks of life, all professions, can all live in the same neighborhood right next to each other. and so unlike many other, new developments, we are not going to have the starter home neighborhood and then the expensive neighborhood and then the affordable housing on the on the corner by the highway. we're going to have these wonderful integrated neighborhoods where people can, all live together in terms of price points. we're going to have homes starting somewhere in

the $450,000 range in today's dollars, that's about 150 to $200,000 less than other homes in other new homes in solano county. and it will go up from there, as the size of the homes increase. and we are really committed to having the entire range. most importantly, we have a $400 million down payment assistance program in place. that program is bigger than the program that california state has. there's a state program that is $300 million for the entire state, funded by taxpayers. this is a case of a private developer making an unprecedented commitment to housing affordability and providing $400 million, all from private funds, for just solano county. 1% of the state's population. and so i am very confident that in 20 years, we're going to have tens of thousands of families in solano county who said the way that we got on the housing ladder, the way that we got into homeownership, was this california forever project. the solano plan, and it was this

wonderful innovation in how we can bring back the california dream to working families right here. >> you can watch interviews like that one every weekday at 3 p.m. on getting answers. >> it's going to continue cooling tomorrow. what about the weekend though? see sandhya's forecast next. also ahead. hello, i'm anxiety. where can i put my stuff? >> coming face to face with anxiety for pixar's new movie inside
