Commission honors OCC chief investigator Charles Gollman; OCC reports January caseload
Summary
The San Francisco Police Commission presented a certificate of appreciation to Charles R. Gollman on his retirement for 24 years of service; OCC Director Hicks reported January 2013 statistics including 55 opened cases and five mediations.
The San Francisco Police Commission on March 6 honored Charles R. Gollman, chief investigator at the Office of Citizen Complaints, with a certificate recognizing 24 years of service to the city.
Commissioners and OCC Director Hicks praised Gollman's integrity and professionalism during remarks that traced his career from military police service to four decades in local investigations. Director Hicks said the OCC and SFPD staff's respect for Gollman reflected his objectivity and service. Gollman briefly thanked colleagues and described a life shaped by duty, honor and country.
Director Hicks also presented the OCC's January 2013 statistics: the office opened 55 cases during the month (12 fewer than January 2012), closed 54 cases, and had about 306 pending cases at the time of the report. The OCC mediated five cases in January (roughly 10% of closures) and sustained one allegation (about 6% of closed cases). Hicks said February statistics would be provided to the commission imminently.
Commissioners used the presentation to underscore the OCC's role in fairly and promptly investigating civilian complaints and to thank Gollman for his mentorship of new investigators. The recognition was the culmination of a retirement celebration the OCC earlier organized in his honor.
