Sheriff Paul Miyamoto said, “Fighting the fentanyl crisis and tackling flagrant drug use on our streets requires a head-on, tough love approach,” said Sheriff Paul Miyamoto. The operation will be not be aimed at arresting people suffering from substance use disorders, mental illness, or homelessness, but rather at disrupting “the cycle of self-harm,” according to the sheriff.ĭeputies will be assigned to hot spots “where open-air drug dealing and drug use runs rampant.” More than 100 deputies with the San Francisco County Sheriff’s Office will be deployed into the Tenderloin, Civic Center and SoMa later this month to arrest both drug users and drug dealers. The teenagers were driving westbound over the Bay Bridge when they were nabbed. Two pounds of fentanyl is enough to kill 900,000 people, the CHP Golden Gate Division said.
