Gaslamp Under New Watch | San Diego News

San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter is getting a major police boost with “Operation Last Call,” as officers ramp up patrols after viral videos exposed escalating violence. Targeting Fifth Avenue and F Street, the push aims to curb public drinking, disturbances, and assaults on cops — which have surged over the past two years.
