Police Commission accepts AEDs and TV donation for Central Station
Summary
The San Francisco Police Commission voted to accept donated equipment — seven automatic external defibrillators and a used television — after brief remarks from Deputy Chief Hector Sinas and a note about a donor's motivation.
The San Francisco Police Commission voted to accept donated equipment for Central Station on a consent calendar motion Monday night during its community meeting at Gordon J. Lau Elementary.
The commission approved acceptance of seven automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) donated by Linda Antonini to be placed in new vehicles and assigned to district stations, listed in the clerk’s reading as valued at $9,998.68, and a used television donated by Nikki Carlson to display crime bulletins, valued at about $200. Deputy Chief Hector Sinas, speaking for Chief Gregory P. Sir, recommended the commission accept the donations as useful tools for the department: “I recommend that you do accept these gifts on behalf of those who’ve donated this for the police department,” he said.
President Susie Loftus provided context before the vote, noting the donor’s personal history: Antonini lost her son in 2002 and has sought ways to prevent similar tragedies. Tom Mazuko moved to accept the items and the motion was seconded; the chair called for the question and stated the motion passed.
The action was taken on the consent calendar and was presented as an administrative acceptance of gifts to the department. No further conditions or implementation details were stated at the meeting.
