SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- San Francisco Mayor London Breed has proposed what could be a temporary solution to the San Francisco Police Department's ongoing staffing shortage. On Thursday, the mayor released a proposal calling for an expansion of SFPD's Reserve Police Officer Program in order to expedite an increase in foot patrols across the city.The SFPD Reserve Police Officer Program was introduced in 1942, according to the mayor's office, and was originally called the Police Auxiliary Reserve. The program was introduced to allow the city to be able to call up up to 800 reserve officers to assist in the event of a natural disaster, sabotage or enemy attack. Woman who fell from SF rooftop at Fleet Week Blue Angels party ID’d Reserve officers work a minimum of 20 hours a month, including four hours of mandatory, ongoing training.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Injuries and ineffective play have combined to drain the life from Utah’s offense.The no. 16 Utes (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) enter Saturday’s game against California ranked last in the Pac-12 in both passing offense (153.8 yards per game) and total offense (297.6 ypg). Major injuries to offensive linemen, running backs, receivers and quarterbacks have rendered Utah’s offense increasingly toothless as the season has progressed.“We’ve looked at it from every single angle. Are we doing something wrong in practice? Are we training wrong in the offseason?” Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said. “It could just be bad luck. It’s an unfortunate situation, but you move on.”Things bottomed out in a 21-7 loss to Oregon State two weeks ago. The Utes totaled 198 yards against the Beavers and averaged only 3.1 yards per play.“You just come to this program and losses kind of feel like the end of the world,” Utah running back Jaylon Glover said. “We have a lot to be happy about. But we’re a...Idaho officials evacuate town of about 10,000 people after gas line explodes at rural intersection

NEW YORK (AP) — The amount of tax money owed but not paid to the IRS is set to keep growing, according to projections published by the federal tax collection agency on Thursday.For tax years 2021 and 2020, the latest to receive such IRS estimates, the projected gross “tax gap” soared to $688 billion and $601 billion, respectively. That marks a significant jump compared to years past — with gross tax gap projections standing at $550 billion for 2017-2019 and $496 billion for 2014-2016.One of the IRS’s biggest challenges is making sure that people actually pay their taxes. While agency data shows that the vast majority of Americans pay their taxes voluntarily and on time, hundreds of billions of dollars in unpaid taxes pile up each year — and tax gap estimates keep getting bigger.IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said that the rising tax gap estimates “underscores the importance” of more compliance efforts.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia’s former agriculture minister was arrested Thursday by the country’s anti-graft commission on accusations of bribery, abuse of power and fraud involving contracts with private vendors.Syahrul Yasin Limpo had resigned his position as agriculture minister last week to focus on the impending legal proceedings against him, and he was formally named as a suspect on Wednesday by the Corruption Eradication Commission, known as the KPK.Footage late Thursday showed Limpo arriving at the commission’s office in handcuffs and wearing a black leather jacket, black hat and a mask. He did not respond to journalists’ questions.Limpo’s lawyer, Febri Diansyah, said it was unfortunate that the KPK forcefully arrested his client at his home at night after he had informed the commission that Limpo would come to the KPK on Friday for questioning.Limpo had missed a scheduled appointment with the KPK on Wednesday for interrogation, saying he was away visiting his parents...Disruption at BWI Marshall Airport sparked by bomb threat, authorities say

The large police investigation at BWI Marshall on Wednesday that shut down access to the airport for about an hour and led to a brief ground stop was triggered by a person who told an airport police officer there was a bomb in their car.At about 2:45 p.m. Wednesday, the person approached a Maryland Transportation Authority police officer who was patrolling the airport’s lower level.“The individual made statements referencing a possible explosive device in the vehicle, which was parked near the entrance to the airport’s lower level,” the MDTA said in a news release Thursday.The person has not been charged and, after being taken into custody, was transported to the hospital for mental health treatment, authorities said.During the incident Wednesday, officials blocked access to the airport for incoming travelers, which led to major backups on Interstate 195, the main artery to the airport.
