While a number of Bay Area law enforcement agencies qualified to receive millions of dollars in funding to help fight organized retail theft, on Thursday it was revealed that Oakland was disqualified from the application process because they submitted their proposal too late.
On Thursday, San Francisco officials confirmed that. Over $15 million will come from the state's Organized Retail Theft Grant Program being administered by the Board of State and Community Corrections for the SFPD along with $2 million for the San Francisco District Attorney's Office from the Organized Retail Theft Vertical Prosecution Grant Program.
"Oakland was disqualified from the ORT Grant Program since they did not submit their proposal by the submission deadline. Oakland said there was technical issues and it wouldn't allow them to submit it before the deadline," explained Tracie Cone with the Board of State and Community Corrections in an email.
