On Jan. 23, 2021, San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced on Twitter the launch of San Francisco’s second Street Crisis Response Team (SCRT) in the Castro and Mission neighborhoods. The first team started patrolling the Tenderloin in November 2020 as a way to de-escalate non-violent crimes and address mental health emergencies related to addiction.
