SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The San Francisco Police Department announced it had made dozens of arrests and seized over a pound of narcotics in a raid of Jefferson Square Park in the city's Western Addition Wednesday night. The raid, of what some neighbors have branded a "Zombie Park" came in response to community complaints of criminal and drug-related activity in the park, SFPD said.
In all, nearly 90 arrests were made and over 1.21 pounds of narcotics were seized during the raid, SFPD said. Police coordinated the operation with multiple city agencies and other law enforcement partners.
"Drug-related activity will never be tolerated in Jefferson Square or any other part of the city," SFPD Chief Bill Scott said. "Our officers will be out in force conducting operations just like these all over the city. I want to thank our hard-working officers and all the partner agencies that assisted in this effort."
In addition to SFPD, other agencies involved in the raid include the San Francisco Sheriff's Office, Drug Enforcement Administration, National Guard, San Francisco Rec and Park Rangers, Department of Public Works, San Francisco Fire Department, and Animal Care and Control (ACC).
