China News Service, June 17th. According to the US "World Journal" report, the San Francisco County Police Chief (Sheriff) Tan Paul Miyamoto (Paul Miyamoto), a Chinese-Japanese hybrid, came to China on the first day of the economic restart. The port "patrols" and visits merchants, expressing that it will work hard to protect the public order in Chinatown and enhance the public's confidence in public order.
The county police department is mainly responsible for the security of prisons and courts. It is different from the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) for patrolling the streets and responding to 911 calls.
In Chinatown, the county police station mainly assists the city police station in patrolling, and the main public security issues are still left to the city police station.
Miyamoto, who is of Chinese descent, said that he looks forward to starting anew with the Chinatown community.
He said that when he came to San Francisco's Chinatown, he saw that Chinatown was restarting, and shops opened to welcome customers. He hoped that more people would come here to consume, promote local business development, and overcome difficulties.
Sergeant Miyamoto said that to achieve this goal, it is important to make "everyone feel safe."
He pointed out that because people have been waiting to go out to spend a long time now, and San Francisco Chinatown has "resilient" characteristics, he hopes that everyone can increase publicity and give Chinatown a new lease of life.
Recently, hate crimes against Asian-Pacific descent have increased. Miyamoto said that hatred and discrimination are indeed still there. Therefore, it is important to maintain safety and restore public confidence in public order.
On the same day, the Chinatown restart conference attracted a large number of media, all gathering at the gate of the Chinatown Golden Gate Lucky Fortune Bakery for interviews.
The owner Chen Zhanming also looked forward to the recovery of Chinatown and the improvement of public security during the interview.
The Golden Gate Lucky Fortune Cake Shop is also one of the tourist's favorite attractions, and it is a must-visit place for many celebrities, celebrities and political officials when they come to Chinatown.
Miyamoto also responded to the "defunding the police" controversy that has been hotly discussed recently.
He pointed out that since last year, the budget of law enforcement agencies has been reduced accordingly, which will indeed pose some challenges.
He hopes that these reduced budgets can be invested in community resource services. The bureau will also work closely with the council and the mayor to ensure that the budget cut from the police station can be returned to the community.
