Chief Bill Scott's accomplished a lot during his tenure. Now he finds himself in the middle of a political drama involving a mayor who wants to arrest bad guys and a DA who's perceived as soft on crime. Where does that leave Scott? Smack dab in the middle.
San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott during an interview with The Examiner on Monday, March 14, 2022.
“I probably worked for 30 straight hours. It was unlike anything I had ever seen, once we got out in the field. Fires, gunshots, just total chaos. And it left a lasting impression. … How one decision can make or break not only your career, but the profession. That was not lost on me early on. It really changed policing.”
Let’s talk about your relationship with the district attorney. It feels like it’s been an extremely public back-and-forth. Was there a way to avoid that? I believe we can do both. I would argue with anybody who says it’s either/or, because it’s not. You can have reform and still have good policing and you have to address crime. A lot of policing is about making adjustments because crime ebbs and flows. The better departments are able to do that. They’re not so rigid that they can’t make adjustments when they need to.
We just hit the 90-day mark of Mayor London Breed’s Tenderloin Emergency Declaration. You were asked to flood the zone. Can you tell our readers what was the increase that SFPD made in the area over that time? There are. Sometimes it gets lost because there’s a lot of challenges in the Tenderloin. There’s a lot of people hanging out. Some people living out in the streets, and we do have a tremendous, pervasive issue with open air drug sales. It’s no secret and it’s been that way for a long time. We’ve got to continue to work to change it. We make a lot of arrests.
Do you believe Chesa Boudin is enforcing the law and putting people in prison appropriately for this kind of crime? Yeah, they’re not police officers and I think it’s unfair to put them in a position and put expectations on them to do police officer duties. They shouldn’t be doing that. Groups like that can be very effective, but we have to be smart about what we’re asking them to do, not to put them in harm’s way. Some of these drug dealers are very dangerous people and volatile, and we don’t want anybody to get hurt. That’s why we have cops out there and police officers out there and that’s our job.
