Wired reveals SF tech firms' police protection costs after Altman attack

Wired published municipal and contractor records showing how much San Francisco tech companies paid for police protection and private security after the attack on Sam Altman’s home and an attack at OpenAI’s offices. The records list payments that funded SFPD overtime details and private security contracts for corporate campuses and executive residences. Those security expenditures rose after the incidents, moving more of the public safety burden onto private firms. This matters because it reveals how corporate safety spending reshapes city policing budgets and creates unequal access to protection for wealthy companies and residents.
