Salesforce and Airbnb were among San Francisco's largest corporate contributors to a city program that allows companies to fund additional police officers in 2024, according to public records.

The program, known as 10B, enables businesses to directly pay for dedicated police staffing in their areas. The initiative has gained attention following recent security incidents, including an attack on Sam Altman's home and OpenAI offices that renewed focus on corporate security practices. Public records reveal tech companies made substantial investments through the program, highlighting how major employers are addressing safety concerns through direct law enforcement funding. The arrangement allows corporations to effectively augment police presence in their neighborhoods and facilities. The 10B program represents one way companies are responding to security challenges in San Francisco, where some tech firms have increased spending on safety measures. The disclosure comes as corporate security strategies face broader scrutiny following high-profile incidents affecting tech leadership. Other details about specific spending amounts and participating companies remain available through San Francisco's public records system.
