those struggling with an addiction. >> what we're facing is a level of public drug use and drug addiction and drug markets that's unlike anything that we have seen before, san francisco supervisor matt dorsey, calling on several city agencies, including police, to help come up with a plan to step up arrests of drug users. >> dorsey says new laws on the books, including proposition 36, have opened the door to treatment mandated felonies. >> now, obviously, if we're going to make an arrest, it should be a life saving intervention. we should make sure that there's medically assisted treatment and medication and opportunities for recovery available. >> the san francisco public health department, fire department, sheriff's office and district attorney's office also being asked to weigh in on his letter of inquiry. >> what we need is a coordinated strategy. what we know is right now, there are 200 people who are going to be engaging in illegal drug use on a quarter mile stretch of sixth street tonight. >> in response, the san francisco aids foundation, which

provides substance abuse counseling and operates harm reduction sites in the city, including the distribution of clean syringes, narcan and drug testing strips coming out against the plan. in a statement, foundation ceo tyler tamir saying in part, quote, reports of an initiative advocating for mass arrests along the sixth street corridor as a pathway to treatment or detox are deeply concerning and counterproductive. decades of research have shown that criminalizing people for their health conditions or circumstances perpetuates harm, rather than fosters recovery. forced treatment under the threat of incarceration undermines trust in health services. >> i would challenge them to show me the studies. i think what people tend to show when they look at these studies, they're looking at studies that are showing that people who don't have severe substance use disorders. >> dorsey pointing out that he's approaching the problem as someone who once struggled with substance abuse himself. >> this made politics personal to me in a way that it had never

been personal before. and right now, i feel like there's a lot of people from the recovery community who are joining with me in saying, we have to do something about the scale of public drug use that's going on in our city. >> so where to go from here? the agency's dorsey has asked to weigh in on the plan, now have 30 days to respond to his letter. obviously, a lot that would still need to take place for this to be put in motion. >> alex and zach, are we hearing anything from any of the city agencies about the supervisors plan? >> yeah, so we have heard back from the department of public health. they essentially are saying that they will continue to do what they have done to help people get the treatment that they need. the fire department essentially saying the same, but adding it is really early right now, and i imagine we'll be hearing more from other agencies once they have a chance to really dig into this. yeah. >> look over the details. we'll see if the plan gains traction. zac sos live in the studio tonight. zach. thank you. san

enforcement needs every tool at its disposal to keep people safe. >> takes an event like this in new orleans and las vegas to realize how important it is to have this coordination, this this instant instantaneous coordination. you know, one command post, sfpd needs to be involved in this. >> san francisco left the joint terrorism task force in 2017 as president trump took office for his first term, the american civil liberties union of northern california council on american-islamic relations and other organizations supported the move at the time, concerned the task force could infringe on the rights of law abiding citizens, the san francisco police officers association argued that san francisco should reconsider its position, and that the city can work with the task force to protect the city from terrorism and protect the rights of the people. >> i think it's a fine line. you know, everybody has to know what their part is, and they have to follow the rules. >> the poa says now it's up to city leaders to determine the path forward. >> well, it's the police commission because they have to

agree to the mou, but that would be in conjunction with talking with the police chief, talking with the mayor, talking with the board of supervisors. so the decision makers in the city have to come to some joint agreement. >> kerr sent out a statement reading in part, quote, the san francisco bay area office of the council on american islamic relations strongly opposes any efforts by the san francisco police department to rejoin the fbi's joint terrorism task force. we extend our condolences to all those impacted by the recent attack in new orleans, but increasing collaboration with the jttf will not make our community safer. it will only further erode public trust and compromise essential civil rights protections. we've also reached out to the incoming administration and the san francisco police department to find out if, in fact, there are any discussions of rejoining the terrorism task force. so far, we've not heard. back in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> the first tornado of the new year touches down in northern
