"We need a fully-staffed police department, sheriffs department, 911 dispatch office. We need to get police out of the business of being our homeless outreach workers, and our mental health counselors," Lurie said. "I want trained clinicians out on the street and working with people who are in mental health crisis or throws of addiction. Bringing those people into 24/7 crises centers and getting them the help that they need."

We'll have interviews with the candidates for San Francisco mayor all week on ABC7 News at 3 p.m.
