"I want you to know that after much thought and reflection I have decided to accept a position as Chief in another jurisdiction. This was an incredibly difficult decision, but at the end of the day, I was given an opportunity I simply could not decline."
"Bill Scott was one of the longest-serving chiefs in San Francisco history, but never secured support from the rank-and-file and was often at odds with the police union."
Bill Scott is stepping down as San Francisco Police Chief after eight years, as stated in an internal email. Despite being one of the longest-serving chiefs, he struggled with support from officers and faced challenges with the police union. Speculation arose regarding Mayor Daniel Lurieâs intentions for Scott's resignation, especially following a controversial supervisory vote earlier this year. Scott previously served in the LAPD before joining SFPD in 2017 during a tumultuous period of police reform. He plans to announce his next position soon.
