"San Francisco Supervisor Ahsha Safai talked about working with Lazar. Safai said he could call Lazar at any moment he had questions about policies and would tell him when he was wrong. CEO of the Union Square Alliance, Marisa Rodriquez, said that Lazar is missed by many community members after he retired. Lazar retired in May from SFPD. "I will say that about 800,000 people in San Francisco are jealous of this opportunity you have before you," Rodriquez said. Lazar helped the city during the pandemic and worked together with Rodriguez to address crime issues, leading to a decrease, she said, offering the data to the supervisors."
"Belmont resident Beth Von Emster said she was concerned with the amount of San Francisco input overpowering the thoughts of San Mateo residents. Emster also questioned Lazar about an incident where he turned on the lights of his car to get through traffic while off-duty to go to a Lunar New Year's event earlier this year, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "I shouldn't have done it and I should have been a little more patient," Lazar told the Post. "I'm not bringing my diving skills to San Mateo County. I'll probably have to drive with someone else. I'll sit in the passenger seat.""
Three finalists for San Mateo County Sheriff presented 90-day plans and answered resident questions. At least 30 people from San Francisco urged supervisors to select former San Francisco Assistant Police Chief David Lazar. San Francisco Supervisor Ahsha Safai said he could call Lazar with policy questions and would tell him when he was wrong. Marisa Rodriquez, CEO of the Union Square Alliance, said Lazar is missed by many community members and said about 800,000 San Francisco residents are jealous of San Mateo’s opportunity. Lazar retired from the SFPD in May and helped the city during the pandemic. A Belmont resident raised concern about San Francisco influence and questioned Lazar about turning on his car lights while off duty; Lazar admitted the mistake and said he would be more patient. Lazar said he would meet deputies' and sergeants' unions within his first 48 hours to begin rebuilding the sheriff's office.
