"We just had this whole wall painted black and within the next day, it started to get tagged and every day you'll see another tag."
"It's a lot of money, but if I don't do it, it will cost me more because the city gave me a warning that I have 'X' amount of days to do it."
"We don't just want a game manager, we want someone that is going to make big plays. We want a playmaker chief."
"Leadership, more communication with the officers, doing more community visiting like previous chiefs did."
San Francisco is conducting a search for a new police chief while an interim chief, Paul Yep, leads the department but has declined to seek the permanent position. Merchants in the Richmond District report recurring graffiti that forces costly cleanups and city warnings, with one merchant paying about $1,500 each time. Community members at a meeting expressed desire for a hands-on chief who emphasizes neighborhood walking beats, stronger leadership, and improved communication with officers. Commissioners and merchants want a proactive 'playmaker' chief who can restore community visiting and consider reviving a graffiti task force. The commission plans to provide finalists to the mayor.
