  THE SWEARING IN OF SAN FRANCISCO POLICE CHIEF WILLIAM ``BILL'' SCOTT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. KAREN BASS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 30, 2017

  Ms. BASS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Chief William 
``Bill'' Scott on his swearing in as San Francisco Chief of Police on 
January 17, 2017.
   Chief Scott spent much of his career in law enforcement in the Los 
Angeles Police Department. He was first appointed to the Department in 
1989, and has worked assignments across the spectrum of police work, 
from patrol to detective to gang intervention. He has served LAPD in 
the Operations West Bureau, Internal Affairs, Professional Standards 
Bureau, the Office of Operations, and as Patrol Commanding Officer and 
Area Commanding Officer.
   He was promoted to the rank of Commander in 2012, and was assigned 
as the Assistant Commanding Officer, Operations in the West Bureau. 
Prior to his selection as San Francisco Chief of Police, Chief Scott 
served as the Assistant Commanding Officer for Operations in the South 
Bureau, which covers much of my district.
   He brings a wealth of experience to his new role, including his 
service during periods when the LAPD was under significant public 
scrutiny. Chief Scott is a graduate of the Senior Management Institute 
of Policing (SMIP), and has a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting.
   I appreciate Chief Scott's commitment to public service and his 
focus on community. As he embarks on a new phase of service to the City 
of San Francisco, I would like to thank him for his work here and wish 
him all the best as he undertakes his new responsibilities.
