CBS San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — San Francisco narcotics officers, armed with search and arrest warrants, have been crossing the Bay Bridge for months, descending into the streets of Oakland in an intense effort to shutdown the pipeline of illegal drugs into the crime laden Tenderloin District.
