The San Francisco Police Commission announced on May 21 that it has formed a subcommittee to oversee the search for the next police chief.
Commission President Elias said the subcommittee consists of her, Commissioner Benedicto and Commissioner Leung. The group will begin working with the city's Department of Human Resources on search logistics and organizing the process to solicit public input. Elias said the commission intends for all commissioners to have access to application materials and interviews and that the commission will report back to the full body as the search proceeds.
President Elias said the commission expects to be as transparent as possible and to obtain public feedback on the qualities and characteristics the public wants in the next chief. She referenced the 2016 search as a prior example of the process and said the subcommittee will follow similar procedures while seeking public engagement.
The commission did not take a final vote on candidates at this meeting; the subcommittee will return with a proposed timeline and more information for the full commission.
