"Commission President C. Don Clay stated that the board had been informed there had historically been no review of either department head except on a couple of occasions where there was going to be a firing. He called the lack of a review process 'not acceptable.'"
"Henderson was scheduled for a public employee performance evaluation for the first time since his appointment as DPA director nearly a decade ago, indicating a shift in oversight practices."
"Clay expressed surprise at the lack of evaluations, saying, 'I quite frankly thought this happened yearly, and normally the chair would do that. Apparently that has never happened.'"
"The closed-door hearing was scheduled in response to allegations of a toxic workplace surrounding DPA and a lawsuit from former policy director Janelle Caywood, but Clay referred to the agenda item as simply a 'briefing of personnel issues' rather than a full review."
The San Francisco police commission plans to evaluate Police Chief Derrick Lew and Department of Police Accountability Director Paul Henderson due to a lack of reviews for nearly a decade. Henderson faces allegations of a hostile work environment and a lawsuit from a former director, while Lew has no allegations against him. Commission President C. Don Clay criticized the absence of regular evaluations, stating it is unacceptable. The commission has the authority to fire both leaders, and Henderson's evaluation is now scheduled for the first time since his appointment.
