STEPPING DOWN, MOVING DOWN, RUNNING AWAY ??

By Bob Walsh

 

 

Bill Scott is, at eight years tenure, the longest serving Chief of the San Francisco Police Department in history.  I confess that statistic surprises me.  it has been generally believed that he would leave "soonish" since the election of the new mayor, Daniel Lurie.

He is moving to take over the LA Transit Police, which most people would call a step down.  He in fact worked for the LAPD for a number of years and topped out as Deputy Chief.  It is believed that the SFPD overtime bill for $61 million might have had something to do with his departure.

It is rumored that the SFPD is actively recruiting for a left-handed transsexual lesbian who is also an undocumented alien.  That is probably an exaggeration.  Probably.
