Additional police and wellbeing officials will be conveyed all through the City and a few roads might be shut down on Super Bowl Sunday when the San Francisco 49ers go head to head with the Kansas City Chiefs. 

"Wellbeing must be the need as we observe," Mayor London Breed said at a question and answer session Friday at Kezar Stadium. "We need to ensure that as we celebrate — finger's crossed — ideally, a triumph during this Super Bowl, the triumph doesn't transform into an option that is other than a glad festival." 

Police Chief Bill Scott said police would cooperate with nearby offices to send additional officials all through the City on Sunday. 

"At the point when it goes from celebratory abundance to criminal conduct, setting fires, vandalizing property, we need to come in and look after request," Scott said.
