San Francisco Police Officers Association
The San Francisco Police Officers Association, the largest police trade union representing the San Francisco Police Department, was founded in 1946.[1] The 1,750 member association represents the majority of San Francisco police officers.[2]
Recent history
On February 12, 2006, the head of the San Francisco Police Officers Association said that Mayor Gavin Newsom showed "a complete and total lack of respect for the rank and file" in his response to a San Francisco Chronicle series examining San Francisco officers' use of force.[3] In October 2006, the vice president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, Kevin Martin, was issued a restraining order from Susan Leff, an attorney for San Francisco's police watchdog agency.[4] Both assemblywoman Fiona Ma and Mayor Gavin Newsom been endorsed by the San Francisco Police Officers Association in part due to their opposition to legislation that would increase Californians' access to police disciplinary records by rolling back a 2006 California Supreme Court ruling.[5]
