The San Francisco Police Department is sharing its game plan for super bowl sunday. It involves tackling any fan violence before it gets out of hand. Cbs 5 reporter da lin is in San Francisco with a look at how police are planning a little play a little zone defense. Right . Reporter the mission will get heavy Police Coverage in this area. Come game day, you remember fans set bonfires throughout the city including one at mission and 19th streets when the giants won the worlds. And so thats why the Police Department will have a lot of folks here to make sure this zone, this area, will be contained. The San Francisco Police Department has its game plan down for super bowl sunday. Chief greg suhr tells me he will have two operations, one group of Police Officers will respond to regular Service Calls and then bring in a second group of officers mostly on overtime to handle postgame celebrations. We bring in all the other officers for crowd management. Reporter he wouldnt give a number but says it will be well over 100 officers. Those officers will patrol the known hot spots, such as broadway street, polk and the marina. They will pay special attention to the mission. Historically, the Mission District has attracted huge crowds. This was how it looks after the giants won the last world series. Not even the pouring rain could dampen the celebration. A lot of younger people here, you know, and a lot of the bars and restaurants have parties that are going on. And generally this neighborhood is a little more tolerant of a little bit of debauchery. Reporter many people hope fans citywide will celebrate responsibly after some fans were out of hand during the last world series celebration. The bonfire scares me the most because this is an old city with wooden buildings. And if something got out of hand, it could spread fast. Reporter chief suhr says the reason there were so many bonfires during the last celebration . Somebody lost traffic of the somebody lost traffic. Fact that it was track of the fact fact that it was garbage night so there was just a lot of fuel at the curb. Reporter he says this time they will make sure the trash pickup will be done before game time. There will be diesel buses on sunday so drivers could drive away from rowdy crowds.

In our super bowl news we have learned late this afternoon Stevie Wonder is the latest performer to be playing in new orleans over the super bowl weekend.

A look into the mind of 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick. His parents tell us what makes him such a fierce competitor. Also in the news tonight a potential change in state law could mean saving the lives of Mountain Lions that wander too far into our neighborhoods. Cbs 5 reporter Elissa Harrington tells us a number of options are on the table. This bill actually becomes a wakeup call a signal a message to every citizen of california to think differently about lions. Reporter it was early last month that two lion cubs were killed by game wardens in half moon bay. At the time, they were deemed dangerous to the public. But they were later found to be only four months old weighing less than 15 pounds each. The incident caused an uproar. The director of the department of fish and wildlife said he regretted the shooting and now senator jerry hill of san mateo introduced senate bill 132, legislation that could reform Mountain Lion encounters. The bill requires wardens to pursue nonlethal options when humans are not at risk. Reporter the animals would be rehabilitated and relocated. Right now, guidelines allow any lion that comes into human contact to be killed. Rehabilitation of big cats is currently illegal in california. The Mountain Lion foundation offered examples of five nonliele that procedures one, capturing Mountain Lions using bait on traps. Two, pursuing a lion until its cornered. Three, using tranquilize guns or pills. Four, monitoring the animals with collars or surgical implants. And five, hazing, using loud noises like sirens. They would also partner with veterinarians and other organizations who are experiences dealing with wildlife. I believe our fish and wildlife wardens do an outstanding job every day under harsh conditions and with limited resources. So what were doing is trying to offer them the tools that they can put in their toolbox when they encounter Mountain Lions. Reporter a spokesman from a rescue group said no matter what happens to the bill they plan to obtain 10 acres for Mountain Lion rehabilitation if and when its needed. Elissa harrington, cbs 5.
