Chief Suhr has been clear on his position that anyone who is capable of such behavior
(sending and exchanging racist and/or homophobic text messages) clearly falls below
the minimum standard for being a San Francisco Police Officer. Chief Suhr appreciates
that the District Attorney supports his position on such conduct. Chief Suhr wants to
reassure the public that upon discovery of these text messages, the Department took
immediate action in removing the officers from public contact, bringing charges before
the Police Commission and notifying the District Attorneys Office so that they could
take appropriate steps in reviewing criminal case files.
