Allcurrent police programs and services will be continued atpresent levels, he says.The department is slated to receive $111,044704 inFeinstein's $1.178 billion budget, almost $6 million more thanthe previous year's allotment.One major saving to the department is the shift of 50regular police officers to The City's Municipal Railway busesand streetcars, replacing 8Bunanned Muni guards. The shiftwill not affect other police services, according to Murphy.because the Mimi assignments will be made on an overtimebasis, in addition to the officers' regular assignments. Sincethe Muni guards were paid from the police budget, the netsaving to the department will be about $500,000, MurphysaidThe budget provides for a net increase of T2 swornofficers during the fiscal year that begins next month andcalls for the replacement of 50 marked patrol cars at a cost of511,600 each, as well as 55 replacement unmarked cars. Thetatter, in an innovative move, are being purchased used fromHertz Corp. and will cost an average of $7,000 each. Thedepartment now fields 200 marked patrol cars and 240unmarked.The budget is expected to grow to $119 million n August.,when Murphy probably will have to ask The City for moremoney when police salaries are standardized with the otherfive major jurisdictions in the state. Patrolmen now receive$20,436 annually. With their benefit package added, the costto The city is about $42,000 a year, according to Sgt. HarlanWilson, supervisor of the department's budget unit.By far the largest piece of the department's budgetarypie ($44.6 million) will be spread among the department'snine district stations for routine uniformed patrol, with thenext largest ($10.1 million) going to traffic regulation.Departmental management has been allotted $7.4 millionwith another $42 million slated for communications.Within the Bureau of Investigations, $6.4 million has beenearmarked for crimes against people. $3.7 million forproperty crimes, $2.3 million for vice crimes and $900,000 forCOME & SEE OUR BEAUTIFUL DINING ROOMLittle Joe'sPizza RestaurantWIDE SELECTION OF ITALIAN DINNERS5006 MISSION ST.CITY WIDE DELIVERY AT ITALY333-3684 - SAN FRANCISCOJoe's #25999 Mission, Daly CityRenie 's Winesand SpiritsGeorge & Gert Strom731-5813255 West Portal Avenue<strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>, -CA 94127AZTECA AUTO BODY SHOPCOMPLETE AUTO RECONSTRUCTIONFRANK ZELAYA Y RENE SOMARRIBAGENERAL MECHANIC2140 FOLSON STREET PH. 883-6410/6411SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. 94110Matthews EnterprisesModern, Semi Antique and AntiqueOriental Carpets"We have what you want,even if you don't know it yet"- 1666 Union Street George Matthews<strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> 94123 673-0707the juvenile bureau. -The budget, Murphy said, caas for maintenance Of policeservices at current levels, along with increased productivityin certain areas.Deployment of the 60.man S.Squad is expected to reducepreventable crime by 15 percent, he said, with moreeffective use of the tactical unit expected to reduce streetcrime by another 5 percent.
