SFPD watchdog boss faces rare evaluation after toxic workplace lawsuit. Here's what that might mean.

"The last time either a police chief or the DPA's executive director were subjected to general evaluation was nearly a decade ago, in 2016 and 2017, respectively."

"Henderson took over the troubled department in 2017 and has been credited with improving its outcomes, but his current evaluation suggests scrutiny of his leadership."

"The scheduling of an evaluation on the commission's Wednesday agenda does not necessarily mean Henderson is going anywhere, but it likely means his job and department are under scrutiny."

The Department of Police Accountability's director, Paul Henderson, is up for performance evaluation amid allegations of a hostile workplace and a lawsuit from a former employee. Evaluations for top officials in the agency and the San Francisco Police Department have been rare, with the last occurring nearly a decade ago. Previous evaluations led to the ousting of former leaders after controversies. The police commission, responsible for overseeing both entities, will conduct Henderson's evaluation, indicating potential scrutiny of his leadership despite past improvements in the department's outcomes.
