The San Francisco Police Department is hitting up four Texas universities as part of a recruitment effort that goes beyond its borders.
Beginning Wednesday, representatives from the San Francisco Police Department are scheduled to test potential recruits at Texas Southern University in Houston, Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Prairie View A&M University, and Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi. The department had presentations at the four campuses earlier this month.‼️🚨SFPD IS COMING TO TEXAS🚨‼️For any questions about this event please contact us by phone, email, or DM.
The push to find candidates outside of California comes as the department continues to face a shortfall and criticism mounts from businesses and residents about the growing homelessness and crime problems facing the city. In the past five years, the shortfall has led to the department shelling out millions of dollars in overtime payments. The number of overtime hours logged by officers on the San Francisco police force jumped 54% from 2021 to 2022, according to the City Controller's Office.
