6:31 am
keeping it pretty cloudy in san francisco, hiding the haze and smoke out there. it is cool here, in the moderate air quality continues through the day. we are not going to get a stronger sea breeze in time to clear out the bay area. we will have to wait until early in the week. it is on the way parents san francisco, 58 right now. it is 63 in palo alto. upper 50's in napa where you have had that haze. we will be in the 70's by 10:00. sunshine will be out, but you will notice by the afternoon the air quality will be moderate with that upper-level smoke. temperatures continue to climb through the 90's with 97 forecasted in concord. fairfield will be warmer with temperatures in the 80's. we will talk about when that
6:32 am
trend and tt airli headz: despite the francisco is expected to see more than 15 million tourists this year. those tourists could pump $3.5 billion into local businesses. one of the keys to building a better bay area is making sure those tourists feel safe and want to come back. that is why san francisco is putting more officers on the streets in parts of the city. our insider insider insider insd police to see if their presence is making a difference. >> an outdoor show in union square. phil: there was a time when union square was the destination for the latest fashions. in the 1950's, crowds of women gathered to see what was hot. today, the new trend everyone is talking about our thefts like this one in early july. police say and organize group
6:33 am
swarmed into the store, stealing tens of thousands of dollars of designer handbags, and got away. despite these incidents, san francisco police department crime data shows declining incidence of property crime in the city so far this year. >> how shocked were you when you saw that video of those people running out with purses across the street? >> for me, it was 10 years ago i would have been more shocked. you are seeing it everywhere. it is disappointing it is here. i have a lot invested in the city. phil: most stores in the area have increased their security. some hire off-duty police officers to stand guard. as retailers struggle with thefts, many luxury retailers ar appointments or sticking to the pandemic capacity limits to restrict the number of people inside stores. >> someone said he l lines because it slowed down
6:34 am
theft. phil: these sergeants are walking the streets of union square as part of san francisco's police department tors and deployment plan and the goal, increased presence in high-traffic tourism areas to let visitors know san francisco is safe. >> you going to ride the cable car? it is fun. have a good day. phil: it is not just tourists seeing more police. businesses are seeing more police as well. >> how are you guys doing? >> we are doing good today, nothing crazy so far. hopefully it stays that way. phil: the pandemic has hit union square hard. and there are the homeless on the sidewalks. none of it paints the neighborhood as a welcoming place. >> the guy we just saw on a sidewalk, you cannot do anything with him? >> he was not doing anything in the store was not complaining.
6:35 am
with those guys, you just get to know them. when you do need something from them, like cleaning up your mess or whatever, they just kind of go along with it. >> that is san francisco. >> unfortunately. we need resources, but how do you convince them of that? we know they need help, but they have to see it too. it goes both ways. nothing breaks our hearts more than not be able to help them. we do not want to see them sitting there. >> and sf pd captain is charge of central station, an area including many top tourist attractions, like union square. >> this is union square, the heart of san francisco. nothing but landmarks around here. how did it wind up being a crime center? >> the retail crowns forure. is.
6:36 am
union square during the pandemic was a different time. property crimes have gone up. but then slowly they have been decreasing as well. our thing is prevention and to deter crime before it happens. phil: how much time do you think we will be able to keep cops at this level in this part of the city? we have seen them come and go. >> i am hopeful. you have full-time beats. union square has officers dedicated, foot beats in the square. that does not change. tourism helps. we will also have reserve officers that come out and do foot beats. phil: your area is not just union square. you have fisherman's wharf. you have some of the hottest
6:37 am
tourist spots. you have retail theft, car break-ins. you have your hands full. >> we do. you mentioned it, eight of the 10 most iconic places to visit our in our district. we are battling a rise in auto burglaries at the wharf. again, looking back the three prior weeks, we have seen some positive decreases. phil: one of the reasons you are flooding the district is here and in chinatown and fisherman's wharf and the tour's attractions is people want to feel safe. >> that is right. phil: do more cops on the street make the street safer? >> of course it does. crime is one thing. perception is the other thing. when i say perception, that means the fear of crime. even if crime is down
6:38 am
perception of crime is still perception of crime is still high , the perception is there is a lot of crime. we do not just look at crime itself. we also look at fear of crime. we need to address that issue. >> how much time do you think it will take for us to get back to the old normal as far as safety? >> i think we are headed toward that now. it is looking positive. with the advent of social media, it is a lot of perception too. if you look at hard data, the chief announced a couple months ago you look at the hard numbers crime is not rising at a rateeee where people think, but on social media it is rising. perception is there. it is a good thing. for me, it is awareness. people see what is going on more than they used to. phil: and very important to the city's hotel industry. before the pandemic, occupancy rates were 80% in hotels.
6:39 am
today, about 30%. the hotel council president says the increased police patrols will help the city recover from that. >> we are starting to see more beat officers out on the streets. phil: does that help public safety or public relations and image? >> that helps the public safety for our employees and visitors. when they can visually see beat officers on the street, it provides them with a sense of security. it does provide security. phil: but it does not do much for the homeless situation or panhandling because that is not a guess the law. >> correct, but anything that is being done that is against the law, having a visual representation of police officers on our street is important to our industry. >> how are retailers around here doing? >> retailers will start to see more people coming in as well. for them, it is important to have the beat officers on the
6:40 am
street because it helps assure our customers that are staying in the hotel and going shopping that they are safe. liz: there is a catch on why these patrols may not be permanent. the only way the city is able to fund these is by using overtime because the san francisco police department is shortstaffed by 400 officers. the problem is getting worse as officers retire and leave for different departments and less extensive part of the state. coming up, the effort to building a better bay area will shift focus, mainly looking at back-to-school as students return to classrooms. we will give you a full week of education stories on air and online. still ahead, a big comeback for >> let's have a safe season. liz: levi's stadium opens at
