He was very well-received by the Linda Vista and Mission Valley residents who attended. He talked about his priorities as the new chief, including getting the San Diego police force to full staffing. Currently there is a shortage of 180 officers in the force. Other priorities include a review and training of officers in the use of deadly force, an emphasis on community policing with more officers on bikes, and improved wait and response times on non-emergency calls to the police department.<\/p>\n Affordable housing projects<\/strong><\/p>\n Lastly, Community Housing Works (CHW) will be having two informational meetings about a possible affordable housing project in Linda Vista.
