Governor Newsom Announces Surge in Law Enforcement To Fight Crime
Newsom: ‘We have a lot more work to do’
By Megan Barth, August 28, 2025 2:54 pm
Governor Gavin Newsom, flanked by law enforcement, announced in today’s press conference that he will be introducing new and expanded crime-fighting efforts by increasing law enforcement teams and operations throughout the state to fight crime in cooperating cities, counties, and the southern border.
Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Bakersfield were specifically mentioned in his comments, noting that the state will increase their efforts that “began with the Biden administration.”
Teams of 15 personnel, including canine teams, will be mobilized throughout Los Angeles, San Diego and other parts of central valley–three new areas added to the “Public Safety Plan” initiated in 2019, Newsom said.
Newsom said he will expand the “efforts in place since 2019 and accelerated in 2023,” in coordination with local and federal law enforcement agencies.
In 2019, no formal public safety plan was drafted. Instead, Newsom and law enforcement agencies focused on a variety of public safety issues which included highway safety, fire mitigation, and utility failures.
In 2021, Newsom officially announced a broader, more comprehensive plan named the “Real Public Safety Plan” that focused on “new investments that will bolster local law enforcement response, ensure prosecutors hold perpetrators accountable and get guns and drugs off our streets.”
One official noted that Californians should be feeling the impact of the Real Public Safety Plan, citing that violent crime is down 4.9 percent and property crime is down 8.5 percent in 2024.
Newsom admitted, “We have a lot more work to do…We think we can do better and not defend the status quo.”
When asked by a reporter if this surge is response to President Donald Trump deploying the national guard in LA, with promises of expanding the guard to other cities, Newsom maintained that his administration has been focused on fighting crime for years, hosting 10 press conferences over the last few years in order to provide Californian’s with weekly updates.
Newsom then mentioned the state’s lawsuit against the Trump administration’s deployment of the National Guard that is awaiting a final decision from District Court Justice Charles Breyer, after the 9th circuit granted a stay of Breyer’s prior decision.
“The consequences of that decision will be profound,” Newsom exclaimed.
During the presser, Newsom continued to attack the president and his administration personally, referring to Trump as having “authoritarian impulses.”
“He is doing things to people, not with people. He is de facto militarizing american cities,” Newsom claimed.
“Is this America? Are we losing our grip with realty? People that don’t look like me fear they are being racially profiled. Authoritarian tendencies and actions of this president cannot be normalized. We are putting a mirror up to the lunacy of this president,” the governor said.

I’m guessing this has more to do with the Gubers lax, sanctuary commercial driver certification give-away policy, than what he wants us to think.
Give me a break!
Public Safety, he now only claims to care about because Trump has called him out! The stench can no longer be ignored. When a single reporter asked him so are you saying there is a crime problem? Newsolini loses it and snaps back that is a curious question!
He won’t even fund the proposition we passed to roll back prop47 lax laws.
Newsom puffed himself up today to only let the air out of his own balloon!
And again what’s with his hand movements. It looks like he was advised not to keep them folded but he found it difficult as his fingers kept trying to escape 😂
Too little, too late Gavin. Total joke!
Gavin is full of it as usual.
Here and everywhere.
It’s the Prez Quest.
What a Class-A JERK
See for yourself. He has completely lost his mind and succumbed to a ranging case of psychological projection, where everything he says about Trump is really about himself. Wow.
Newom: “…. [Trump] is simply the most destructive and damaging individual in my lifetime.”

Correction: “raging” (not “ranging”). sigh
Does this mean he is going to repeal all his anti-law enforcement laws? As if! LOL.
No kidding LOL! He belongs in a rubber room. In Gitmo.
What’s the point of new crime fighting efforts if the crims never get locked up?
The DAs don’t prosecute crimes now, what will they do with even more?
The guy was against Prop 36 as if his life depended on defeating it, and now of course he refuses to fund it. His whole governorship has been about letting criminals out on the streets and closing prisons. He’s responsible for the nightmare of D.A. George Gascon. There’s SO MUCH MORE of course. And let’s not forget the random violent crime and general B.S. that is happening on the streets as we speak because of neverending homeless-vagrancy that is A-OK with Mr. Gavin as long as the slush fund fire hose keeps spewing cash.
What an amazing load of bull. Is he high all the time again? Seems like it. He’s all red and super-hyper. OMG what a disgusting, obnoxious, unrepentant piece of garbage he is.
BONUS LINK: Here’s the Gov’s First Wifey pretending to cry as she pretends to care about illegal aliens:

She seems half-crazy now herself. So would you be too if you had to live with Gov Hyperactivity.
OMG!
I saw this!
She is a horrible actress, I guess Harvey only saw one talent and it was not her acting ability. She is feigning anger and sadness but somehow manages a weird sinister smile .
Also, I thought she was concerned about her skin cancer yet she stands out in a hot field with no hat.
Oh yes, CG, her “weird sinister smile.” That’s so good, and it’s so true. Creepy woman.
Skin cancer, huh? Hadn’t heard that. So what the heck is she doing then sunning herself, presumably for hours, on a Baja beach, when she and Gruesome were staying at that $29K-a-night Russian oligarch’s hotel? The timeline has all become a blur-of-misery now, but wasn’t that also during Covid when none of us were allowed outside without a mask and were fearing imminent vaccine mandates to boot, adding insult to injury? Aaaaahhhh!
The First partner was spotted in. Beverly Hills shopping in a spa med during the immigration riots this year. Newsom’s crack PR team tried to shame the media by excusing her “let them eat ice cream” moment with the excuse that she was picking up special face cream for her prior skin cancer scare!
Now this and yes the beach trips to Baja, Mexico. But we will just ignore those excursions.

about this one, a commenter said:
As a former addict I can confidently say he is jacked.
Thanks Jimmy,
I do like The Body Language Guy.
I will have to catch some more of his videos.
I noticed that during his hand wringing that the L thumb is always up, while the R thumb is playing peek-a-boo.🤔
This is terrific! Thank you Jimmy.
What a pathetic performance by Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s “First Partner” Jennifer Lynn Siebel Newsom who is also known as “Weinstein’s Trollop.” She probably filmed it at their PlumpJack winery in Napa Valley after a few glasses of wine and maybe some other substances? No doubt the Newsom’s along with the rest of the criminal Democrat thug mafia will do everything they can to ensure that California remains an illegal alien sanctuary state with open borders because human trafficking and the exploitation of children is very lucrative for them as is the trafficking of illegal drugs and money laundering? Maybe the Newsom’s and their Democrat cronies also imbibe in adrenochrome that is produced as part of the human trafficking process?
Nothing Newsom had done nor intends to enact is good, nothing
Lol – when I said that about Trump, you people whined for proof like hungry kittens for mama’s milk.
Well, what’s your proof for this absurd assertion?
Never a Trump advocate. He and Newsom both feeding from the fiat currency trough.
Absent bogus bucks both their heads would be on a stick.
Laughable folk believe Donald conservative.
Fiat currency and the printing of bogus bucks started in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve. Trying to blame that on the current administration is laughably idiotic.
It’s Hair-gel Hitler Newsom who has been feeding at the taxpayer trough with his many scams like buying a billion dollars of face masks with taxpayer dollars in a no bid contract from a CCP connected company that never delivered. His sleazy Weinstein trollop “First Partner” has been feeding at the taxpayer trough with scams like her gender equity porn scam that she sells to public schools. They along with the rest of the criminal Democrat thug mafia who control California have profited handsomely from the numerous criminal schemes they’ve been running like the homeless housing scam, the train to nowhere scam, the illegal alien human trafficking scam, etc.
I am in strong agreement.
At this time, President Trump is far superior to any other alternative choice.
“Laughable folk believe Donald conservative.”
@Eyeinthesky, it depends on how you define “conservative”. If you want to list about 10-20 different things, there are not likely to be a lot of people who adhere to all of them as being a conservative. If you list 5, your chances are better. As for POTUS Trump, he is conservative enough for me.
All he has to do is fund Prop 36!!!!
@Enough Already
Exactly!
It would be a start.
I wonder why this must be a travelling operation instead of an adequate and continuing presence. CHP under-recruitment has been a recent concern, even with elevated starting salaries. Sure, B&W CHP units are highly visible, and their presence causes crime to disappear but, unless convictions reach parity with citations (an arrest of sorts) and physical apprehension, crime is only abated for a long enough period to improve things on paper.
The Guber gets an A+ for repetition and omitting that he is operating a sanctuary state, rife with crime, which he aids and abets at the expense and victimization of U.S. Citizens.
“Today, the vacancy rate exceeds 16%, although the CHP has said it received far more applications to its academy in the first half of this year than than in the same period in 2023. Part of the problem, the analyst’s office report contends, is that the CHP doesn’t face any consequences for failing to make new hires.” ~LAist~
@Skunked
Great info.
You make a good point about the short term effects of the CHP street enforcement.
Newsolini did this during out of control smash and grab up in SF and Oakland.
The results of lower crime were short lived.
It takes CHP away from their intended jobs of patrolling our freeways.
Thanks,
I believe that representing the California Highway Patrol next to Gavin Newsom is one of the least professionally fulfilling events of those Command Officer’s entirely honorable careers.
Can’t wait til Trump is out of office and gets arrested for treason.
That, or he dies in office.
Robert (aka Roberta) G. Martinengo sounds just as loony as the mentally ill tranny in Minneapolis who offed those innocent children and who had also wished harm to President Trump. Roberta/Robert may be suffering from the same psychosis brought on by toxic hormone therapy and trans mutilation that is part of the evil Democrat “gender affirming care agenda? No doubt Roberta/Robert also dutifully took the toxic experimental COVID mRNA shots/boosters that dictatorial Democrats like Newsom and Biden mandated? That probably contributed to her/his unstable mental condition? Maybe the law enforcement and the Secret Service needs to pay a visit to Roberta/Robert G. Martinengo’s residence before any innocent lives are harmed?
“Robert” left what sounded to me like a threat against the President on a previoius post.
(What “TDS” stands for? Remember, “Robert?”)
Kinda surprised that Secret Service AND the FBI haven’t coming knocking on his door yet.
Oh fer gawd sakes. I’m about as violent as a glass of warm milk.
I’ve never been in a fight and don’t like to watch them (even boxing is nasty).
I do not advocate for or incite violence of any kind, even against yappy dogs or MAGA.
There is a big difference between saying “I hope Trump dies of a heart attack today” and making a threat.
So, with all due respect, I hope Trump dies of a heart attack today.
Roberta G. Martinengo is one of Hair-gel Hitler Newsom’s bitchy queens who is completely failing in an attempt to deflect for him and prop him up. Roberta is pathetic.
So another question is whether he would fund Prop 36?
He’s such a fraud.
I hope Newsom plans on installing some revolving doors at the courthouses to handle the additional turnover.
Since Governor Gavin Newsom took office in 2019, California’s prison population has significantly decreased. When Newsom assumed office, the state’s prison population was approximately 120,000 inmates, which has since declined to about 91,000 as of May 2024. This reduction represents a net decrease of roughly 27,000 inmates over his tenure. The decline is attributed to a combination of policy changes, including the implementation of Proposition 57, which allows parole consideration for nonviolent felons, and the closure of several state prisons. Newsom has already overseen the closure of four state prisons—the Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy (2021), the California Correctional Center in Susanville (2023), the California City Correctional Facility, and the Chuckwalla Valley State Prison (closed in October 2023). He has also proposed closing a fifth prison by October 2026 as part of his budget plan to address a projected $12 billion deficit, with the closure expected to save $150 million annually.
Releasing all those felons has created havoc in communities around California resulting in more crime and homelessness. Hair-gel Hitler Newsom and his sleazy Weinstein trollop “First Partner” aren’t affected because they have armed security protecting them 24/7 at their gated and walled mansions.
I think TJ needs a hug.
Roberta G. Martinengo needs to lay off the toxic hormones which has created a mentally ill monstrosity prone to offing innocent children. It’s part of the criminal Democrat’s insane gender affirming care agenda.
I anticipate an increased number of 35mph Subarus, with tassaled windshield, and one of those rainbow coexist stickers centered in the rear window.
