Officials with the San Francisco Police Department on Thursday said they are moving in a positive direction when it comes to cracking down on lawless driving citywide.
'We've definitely made an upward trend, but we still have a lot of work to do,' San Francisco Police Traffic Commander Nicole Jones told CBS News Bay Area.Jones presented the latest numbers at a Traffic Enforcement and Street Safety meeting at City Hall on Thursday.The agency issued nearly 13,000 tickets by the end of October this year, which is a big jump from just a little more than 5,000 citations in all of last year.
In 2014, the department had 77 traffic officers, compared to 43 officers this year.'The other thing that we heard is that, because of changes in state law, it's actually much more time consuming to give out a ticket than it was in 2014. A citation, writing a ticket may have taken 5 minutes then. Because the data reporting that has to happen now might be more like 20 minutes.
