ANDREW DYER HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: PETTY OFFICER SECOND CLASS TRANXVI WAS ON A SHIP IN SAN DIEGO.

PROSECUTORS SAY BEFORE WEI EVEN CHECKED ABOARD THE ESSEX HE HAD ALREADY BEEN RECRUITED BY A CHINESE INTELLIGENCE OFFICER.

>> NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO U.S. SECURITY.

THAT'S WHY THIS CONDUCT IS PERSONAL FOR SAN DIEGO AND WE WILL NOT STAND FOR IT.

>> Reporter: THE U.S. ATTORNEY FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT ANNOUNCED WEI'S ARREST TODAY.

>> WHEN A SOLDIER OR SAILOR CHOOSES CASH OVER COUNTRY AND HANDS OVER DEFENSE INFORMATION IN AN ACT OF BETRAYAL, WE HAVE TO BE READY TO ACT.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE DONE.

>> Reporter: WEI ALLEGEDLY SOLD DOCUMENTS AND TECHNICAL MANUALS FOR MORE THAN A YEAR.

PROSECUTORS SAY HE ALSO SENT PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT AND SHIPS IN SAN DIEGO.

ANOTHER SAILOR, EDDIE OFFICER SECOND CLASS WENHENG ZHAO WAS ALSO ARRESTED.

THEY WERE BOTH TAKEN INTO CUSTODY YESTERDAY.

THE SUPERVISOR OF THE FBI OFFICE IN SAN DIEGO SAID THE ARREST SHOW THE THREAT THE U.S. FACES FROM CHINA.

>> THE FBI IS CONTINUOUSLY MONITORING THREATS FROM FOREIGN ADVERSARIES.

THERE IS NO BIGGER MULTI GENERATIONAL THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES THAN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

>> Reporter: THE ESSEX IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE.

ANDREW DYER, KPBS NEWS.

>>> MONSOON MOISTURE HAS BEEN AROUND THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS AS EVIDENCED WITH HIGHER DEW POINTS.

IN THE COMING DAYS THE ATMOSPHERE IS TURNING DRIER.

THAT MEANS THE TEMPERATURE CAN HEAT UP EFFECTIVELY.

THE EXCESSIVE HEAT ALERTS ARE ALREADY BACK IN PLACE AND COULD EXPAND WESTWARD IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

WE WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW HIGH THE MERCURY WILL RISE OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK A LITTLE LATER IN THE BROADCAST.

>>> A PROPOSAL TO ALLOW MY HOUSING IN LOW-DENSITY NEIGHBORHOODS FACES AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE.

ANDREW BOWEN HAS MORE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SENATE BILL 10.

>> Reporter: IT IS A STATE LAW THAT WILL ALLOW CITIES TO STREAMLINE THE APPROVAL OF UP TO 10 HOMES ON LOT THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE RESTRICTED TO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

THE MAYOR HELPED TO USE IT TO INTEGRATE THE MOST EXCLUSIVE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH LOWER-COST TOWNHOMES AND APARTMENT BUILDINGS.

THE MEASURE WAS PROPOSED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE SECOND TIME ON THURSDAY.

IT WAS SUPPORTED BY AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS, YOUTH ADVOCATES AND ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS WHO SEE IT AS A MEANS OF HELPING TO RELIEVE SAN DIEGO'S HOUSING SHORTAGE.

>> EVERYBODY WANTS MORE AFFORDABLE HOMES.

IT'S ABOUT WELL, WHERE WE PUT THEM.

IT ADDS MORE PRODUCTION AND POTENTIAL FOR BUILDING HOMES IN SAN DIEGO.

>> Reporter: THE MEASURE FACED OPPOSITION FROM HOMEOWNERS WHO ARGUED IT WAS DISRUPT THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND CROWD THEM OF MORE NEIGHBORS AND CARS.

THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS ULTIMATELY AGREED THAT IT JUST GOES TOO FAR.

>> I AM VERY MUCH PRO- AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WE NEED IT IN THE COMMUNITY BUT TO ME THIS IS NOT THE MECHANISM.

I THINK WE ARE GOING DOWN A WRONG PATH HERE THAT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RETREAT FROM.

>> Reporter: THE MAYOR SAID HE WILL NOT BE TAKING IT TO CITY COUNCIL AS PREVIOUSLY PLANNED, BUT HE SAID HE WILL HOLD MORE WORKSHOPS FOR A COMPROMISE.

>>> THE MAYOR HAS AN UPDATE ON HOW THE UNSAFE CAMPING ORDINANCES GOING.

HE SAID OFFICERS CAME IN CONTACT WITH 30 PEOPLE VIOLATING THE NEW LAW .

THREE WERE ARRESTED FOR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS AND TWO WERE GIVEN CITATIONS.

THREE OTHERS ACCEPTED A BED AT A SHELTER.

>> THE GOAL IS TO GET FOLKS OFF THE STREET WHERE, FOR THE MOST PART, THEY ARE NOT MOVING TOWARD RESOLVING THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF THEIR HOMELESSNESS AND ARE LIVING IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.

>> FIVE OFFICERS ARE ENFORCING THE BAN STARTING WITH PARKS AND SCHOOLS WHERE ENCAMPMENTS ARE PROHIBITED.

THEY ALSO ADDRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROPOSAL TO TURN THE MALCOLM X. LIBRARY INTO A SAFE PARKING LOT.

NEIGHBORS SAY IT'S NOT A GOOD SITE BECAUSE IT'S NEXT TO THE SCHOOL.

THE MAYOR SAID PEOPLE ARE ALREADY USING A LOT TO SLEEP IN THEIR CARS.

>>> A FORMER UC SAN DIEGO RESEARCHER WAS AWARDED $39 MILLION IN DAMAGES IN A CASE OF ALLEGED RETALIATION BY THE UNIVERSITY.

WE HAVE DETAILS THAT INCLUDE TOOLING LAWSUITS, CLAIMING FRAUD, AND DEFAMATION.

>> Reporter: DR. KEVIN MURPHY WAS A PROMINENT PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGIST AND RESEARCHER IN 2018 WHEN ONE OF HIS PATIENTS AND THE LOCAL PHILANTHROPIST DIED OF CANCER AND LEFT $10 MILLION TO UC SAN DIEGO FOR USE IN RESEARCH.

THE MONEY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EARMARKED FOR HIS RESEARCH EXPERIMENTS FOR A SPECIFIC TREATMENT FOR BRAIN DISORDERS IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS.

THE DOCTOR SAID THAT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN IT CAME TIME TO FUND HIS MEDICAL TRIALS.

>> THEY HAD SPENT THE MONEY ALREADY.

THEY ALLOTTED IT TOWARD VARIOUS FOLKS.

I WAS HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK AND IT WAS GOING TO CREATE A LOT OF ANGER.

I FOUND A SERIES OF REPETITIVE RETALIATORY THINGS THAT STARTED TO HAPPEN AND MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO USE THE MONEY.

>> Reporter: HE SAID HE WAS DENIED REVIEWS OF HIS RESEARCH PROTOCOLS, WHICH COMPROMISED HIS WORK.

HE SAID HIS STAFF WAS UNEXPECTEDLY CUT WITHOUT CAUSE.

THEN HE WAS FIRED BY THE REGENTS BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED HE WAS MISUSING MONEY FOR HIS PERSONAL GAIN.

>> I THINK THE GOAL IS TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE LIKE ME.

OF COURSE, THAT AFFECTS ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO RAISE THEIR HAND AND SAY THEY ARE SEEING A PROBLEM.

>> Reporter: THE LEGAL CASE PLAYED OUT IN SAN DIEGO SUPERIOR COURT OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS WERE A JURY CONSIDERED THE UNIVERSITY LAWSUIT FOR FRAUD AGAINST MURPHY WHILE ALSO HEARING THE DOCK'S COUNTER LAWSUIT AGAINST THE REGENTS FOR RETALIATION AND DEFAMATION.

HE WAS AWARDED $39 MILLION IN DAMAGES.

$67,000 WAS AWARDED TO THE UC SYSTEM TO COVER INCOME EARNED BY THE DOCTOR OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY THAT WAS NOT REPORTED.

MIKE QUIGLEY LED THE TEAM OF ATTORNEYS.

HE IS WORKING ON THREE OTHER CASES OF RETALIATION STILL TO GO TO TRIAL.

>> IF FACULTY ARE ENCOURAGED TO STEP UP AND BLOW THE WHISTLE IF THEY THINK THERE IS FRAUD OR WASTE OR VIOLATION, THEY ARE TO BE PROTECTED.

THEY ARE NOT TO BE RETALIATED AGAINST AND VILIFIED AND DESTROYED WHICH IS WHAT THEY DID TO DR. MURPHY.

>> Reporter: WE REACHED OUT TO BOTH THE UNIVERSITY AND THEIR ATTORNEY.

WE HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM EITHER BY OUR DEADLINE THIS AFTERNOON.

>>> FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS FACING HIS THIRD INDICTMENT IN JUST FOUR MONTHS.

WE HAVE THE LATEST FROM WASHINGTON WHERE HE ANSWERED 24 NEW FELONY CHARGES TODAY.

>> Reporter: IN A HISTORIC MOVE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WAS CHARGED WITH CONSPIRING TO OVERTURN THE RESULTS OF THE 2020 ELECTION WHICH PROSECUTORS SAY FUELED THE VIOLENT RIOTS ON OUR NATION'S CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6, 2021.

>> THIS IS A POLITICAL PERSECUTION OF AN OPPONENT.

THIS WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN AMERICA.

>> Reporter: HE IS CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE UNITED STATES, CONSPIRING TO OBSTRUCT AN OFFICIAL PROCEEDING, EXCEPT -- CONSPIRACY AGAINST VOTING RIGHTS.

>> THE GOVERNMENT TAKES THE POSITION THAT HE KNEW HE LOST THE ELECTION.

THEY WILL HAVE TO PROVE THAT BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.

>> Reporter: TRUMP IS FACING 78 CRIMINAL CHARGES TOTAL WHILE STILL THE FRONT RUNNER FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S LAWYER ARGUED HE HAD A FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS.

>> WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP DID IS SAID GO PATRIOTICALLY AND PEACEFULLY AND PROTEST.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE AMERICA.

>> Reporter: TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY IN THE THREE CASES AGAINST IT.

>>> CALL IT A HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT BETWEEN BLUE AND RED STATE AMERICA.

FLORIDA GOVERNOR AND REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE RON DESANTIS HAS ACCEPTED THIS INVITATION FROM GOVERNOR NEWSOM TO DEBATE.

HE ACCEPTED WHILE SPEAKING TO SEAN HANNITY.

AS OF NOW THE DEBATE WILL BE HELD IN NOVEMBER AND BROADCASTS ON FOX NEWS.

THEY HAVE FREQUENTLY EXCHANGED INSULTS OVER THEIR RESPECTIVE POLITICAL AGENDAS AND LEADERSHIP ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND TELEVISION.

>>> PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS MAYBE HELPFUL IN ADDRESSING EATING DISORDERS.

MATT HOFFMAN HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: PSILOCYBIN IS A HALLUCINOGEN FOUND IN MUSHROOMS THAT TEMPORARILY ALTER CONSCIOUSNESS.

PAST RESEARCH HAS SHOWN PROMISE IN THE DRUG HELPING PEOPLE WITH DEPRESSION, ALCOHOLISM, OR PTSD.

RESEARCH SHOWS IT CAN ALSO HELP PEOPLE WITH ANOREXIA NERVOSA.

THAT CAUSES PEOPLE TO REDUCE THEIR FOOD INTAKE AND HAVE A DISTORTED VIEW OF THEIR BODY.

>> THIS CAN HELP WITH HER SYMPTOMS.

>> Reporter: THE RESEARCHERS DECIDED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW, GIVING A HIGH DOSE OF SYNTHETIC PSILOCYBIN TO 10 PEOPLE TO SEE IF A PSYCHEDELIC TRIP COMBINED WITH SUPPORTIVE THERAPY CAN CHANGE THE WAY THEY THINK ABOUT THEMSELVES.

>> THEY CAME OUT OF IT SAYING I SPENT SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY THINKING THAT MY WHOLE SELF WITH WAS BASED ON WHAT I LOOKED LIKE OR NEEDING TO BE THIS WEIGHT OR I WAS WORTHLESS.

I NO LONGER HAVE THAT IDENTITY.

>> Reporter: MANY SHOWED SIGNIFICANT DROPS AND EATING DISORDER SYMPTOMS THAT CONTINUED AFTER THREE MONTHS.

>> MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO REPLICATE THAT BUT IT IS A VERY PROMISING FINDING COMPARED TO WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AVAILABLE.

>> Reporter: ONE GOAL OF THE STUDY WAS TO SEE IF PSILOCYBIN WAS SAFE FOR PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH ANOREXIA.

HE SAID IT GENERALLY WAS WITH SOME REPORTING MINOR SIDE EFFECTS.

PSILOCYBIN IS A SCHEDULE ONE DRUG IN THE U.S.

SO SPECIAL LICENSES HAD TO BE OBTAINED.

THEY ARE HOPING THE FDA WILL SOON ALLOW ACCESS FOR STUDIES LIKE THIS.

>> I THINK IT IS PROMISING ENOUGH.

I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR MANY YEARS.

WE HAVE NOT FOUND MUCH THAT REALLY CHANGES THE THINKING.

>> Reporter: IT IS UNCLEAR IF ONE TRIP IS ENOUGH TO MAKE A LASTING IMPACT.

NINE OUT OF 10 PEOPLE SAID THEY FELT THAT ONE DOSE WAS NOT ENOUGH.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY PART OF A LARGER TRIAL TO FIND SOME OF THOSE ANSWERS.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR MORE PARTICIPANTS.

>>> NEARLY 1/3 OF ADULT CALIFORNIANS SAY THEY ARE DONE GETTING COVID BOOSTER SHOTS.

32% OF ADULTS WOULD DECLINE ANY ADDITIONAL BOOSTERS.

IT ALSO FOUND THAT THE ADULTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY VACCINATED, 48% THINK IT IS UNNECESSARY.

45% WORRY ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS.

22% SAY THEY DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE VACCINE AND 20% DO NOT BELIEVE IN VACCINES IN GENERAL.

>>> LOGAN HEIGHTS RESTAURANT AND OTHER BUSINESS OWNERS ARE HOPING PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL VENTURE IN FOR FOOD AND FUN AT THE TASTE OF IMPERIAL EVENT TOMORROW.

WE SPOKE WITH ONE PARTICIPATING BUSINESS OWNER.

>> Reporter: IT EMPANADAS ARE HIS SPECIALTY.

>> [ SPEAKING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE ] >> Reporter: HE SAID HE SOLD EVERYTHING HE HAD TO START THE RESTAURANT 13 YEARS AGO WITH JUST A FEW TABLES.

HIS DAUGHTER SLEPT IN THE CAR OUTSIDE WHILE HE AND HIS WIFE FRIED EMPANADAS.

HE WANTS OTHERS TO SAMPLE THE FLAVORS OF THE COMMUNITY AND GET TO KNOW WHAT IT IS REALLY LIKE.

>> WE WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THE COMMUNITY.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW LOGAN HEIGHTS.

THEY THINK IT IS A SCARY OR UNSAFE AREA.

>> Reporter: LOGAN HEIGHTS HAS BEEN HISTORICALLY SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF SAN DIEGO.

FIRST BY REDLINING AND THEN BY FREEWAY CONSTRUCTION.

THE PREDOMINANTLY LATINO NEIGHBORHOOD WAS DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC AND DID NOT RECEIVE AS MUCH HELP TO RECOVER.

DIGITAL AND LANGUAGE ACCESS BARRIERS CAUSED MANY OF THE AREA RESTAURANTS TO MISS OUT ON SMALL BUSINESS AID.

THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION IS PUTTING ON TASTE OF IMPERIAL TO HELP CONTINUE POST PANDEMIC RECOVERY AND CELEBRATE THE IDENTITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SAID IS ONE OF RESILIENCE.

>> IT IS ALMOST LIKE YOU THINK OF ALL OF THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN TO A COMMUNITY LIKE SEGREGATED HOUSING, REDLINING, DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES, YET WE ARE STILL HERE.

>> Reporter: YOU CAN TASTE THE EMPANADAS AND OFFERINGS FROM A DOZEN OTHER BUSINESSES ON FRIDAY ON IMPERIAL AVENUE.

>>> CLIMATE A LOGICALLY SPEAKING, AUGUST INTO SEPTEMBER IS THE HOTTEST TIME OF THE YEAR.

IT LOOKS LIKE MOTHER NATURE IS TRYING TO COINCIDE WITH THAT TIMING.

THE EXCESSIVE HEAT IS MAKING A RETURN AND WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT WARMTH THAT IS EVEN WARM FOR THE COAST.

GIVEN THE HEAT AND DRY WEATHER AND WHAT IS ALREADY GOING ON OFF TO THE EAST, IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO AVOID OUTDOOR BURNING THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE THE FIRE RISK COULD EASILY BE ELEVATED.

IT'S ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT AREAS TO THE NORTH HAVE EACH HAZARD STATEMENTS POSTED.

EVEN CLOSER TO SAN DIEGO AND SAN CLEMENTE WE COULD SEE SOME EXCESS WATER POOLING THAT COULD LEAD TO EROSION OR ROUGH CHOP IN THE WATER.

OVERNIGHT PRETTY QUIET.

A FEW EXTRA CLOUDS ON THE WAY BUT MID 60s IN THE METRO AREA.

A QUIET AND PLEASANT NIGHT.

DURING THE DAY TOMORROW PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.

TEMPERATURES IN THE 70s NEAR THE COAST AND 80s TO AROUND 90 INLAND.

THE DESERT IS LOOKING WHITE HOT.

AS WE GO HOUR BY HOUR TONIGHT, NOT MUCH FANFARE.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE CLOUDS THAT WILL START TO THICKEN ESPECIALLY ON THE COASTAL SECTION.

A BIT OF A DULL START TO THE DAY BUT WE WILL BREAK INTO SOME SUNSHINE AND IT WILL BE WARM TO HOT.

THIS AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPANDING WHICH IS AN INVITATION FOR THE HEAT TO COME WITH IT.

THEY WILL CARRY WITH US AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

UPPER 70s FOR FRIDAY AND MID 80s BY SUNDAY UNDERNEATH A LOT OF SUNSHINE.

HEADING INLAND WE WILL TRADE THE 80s FOR THE MID TO UPPER 90s BEFORE THE WEEKEND IS DONE.

IN THE MOUNTAINS THAT IS THE BEST BET FOR RELIEF.

UPPER 70s TO AROUND 80 WITH NO STORMS HERE EITHER.

CHECK OUT THIS HEAT.

>>> LAW ENFORCEMENT UNIONS HAVE FUNNELED MORE THAN $160,000 INTO THE UPCOMING SAN DIEGO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SPECIAL ELECTION FOR DISTRICT 4 ON AUGUST 15.

THAT HAS FUNDED MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENTS FOCUSED ON ONE CANDIDATE IN THE RACE.

WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE MONEY IN THE ELECTION.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE ADS?

>> Reporter: MAILERS HAVE MADE THEIR WAY TO VOTERS 'HOMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS THAT HAVE SPARKED BACKLASH.

THE CURRENT SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO TEM.

SHE HAS SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE CITY COUNCIL FOCUSING ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE ISSUES.

THE SAN DIEGO POLICE UNION AND COUNTY DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY ASSOCIATION TALK ABOUT HER TRACK RECORD ON PUBLIC SAFETY.

THEY PAINT HER AS SOMEBODY WHOSE POLICIES HAVE LED TO INCREASES IN CRIME AND TAKING RESOURCES FROM POLICE.

THOSE STATEMENTS ARE NOT ENTIRELY TRUE.

IN FACT, SHE HAS VOTED IN FAVOR OF EXPANDING THE POLICE BUDGET FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

ANOTHER KEY CLAIM ALSO TURNED OUT TO BE INCORRECT.

THE POLICE UNION SAID COUNTY ELECTION OFFICIALS FORCED HER TO REMOVE FALSE INFORMATION FROM HER CANDIDATE STATEMENT.

ELECTION OFFICIALS SAY THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

HERE SHE IS AT A RECENT CANDIDATE FORUM TALKING ABOUT THE ADS.

>> THERE'S A CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW BY THE POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION THAT SAYS ANYBODY BUT MONICA.

THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE I HOLD OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT ACCOUNTABLE.

I HOLD LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE BAD AXE THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

>> Reporter: MORE THAN $1 MILLION HAS BEEN SPENT SO FAR.

WITH TWO MORE WEEKS TO GO BEFORE THE END OF VOTING, MORE MAILERS ARE EXPECTED SOON.

>> THANK YOU.

DO THE SUPERVISORS HAVE ANY JURISDICTION OVER THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT?

>> Reporter: THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.

THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS NO.

THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO HAS JURISDICTION FOR THE SAN DIEGO POLICE.

THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO HAVE JURISDICTION FOR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

WHAT WE OFTEN FIND IN THESE ELECTIONS IS THAT DIFFERENT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTY ARE ALIGNED IN THE CANDIDATES THEY SUPPORT AND OPPOSE.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORT.
