San Francisco’s 311 App Now Sends Drug Complaints to Police

San Francisco has updated its 311 app to include a new category for drug-related complaints. These reports are now forwarded directly to the police for potential action.

Previously, many drug complaints submitted through the app were not addressed by law enforcement. This change aims to improve how the city handles such issues.

Despite this update, residents who want a police officer to respond in person still need to call the police department. The app alone does not guarantee an officer will be sent.

The city hopes this new system will help police respond more effectively to drug problems reported by the public.
