saturday. mr. chamberlain was wanted by the fbi for allegedly possessing explosive materials in his residence. although he's in custody, this remains an ongoing investigation and we appreciate the public's understanding and patience as the justice system now takes its course. to be perfectly clear, we believe that any threat to public safety has been mitigated in this case. once again, the fbi san francisco field office turned to the public as we have on so many occasions for assistance and the public came through. we received hundreds of tips from individuals in the bay area and throughout the country. it goes without saying that the public played a critical role in this arrest and for that i thank them. as often is the case, this investigation was the result of the collaboration and assistance of many different agencies. some of whom are assigned to
8:34 am
our joint terrific task force here in san francisco. i would personally like to thank the atf, california highway patrol, san francisco fire department, u.s. park police and the many additional law enforcement agencies throughout the country who provided resources and support. finally, the arrest could not have been possible without the vigilant and brave officers of the san francisco police department who made the initial identification of the vehicle and approach of mr. chamberlain. i will now turn the podium over to chief suhr for his comments. >> thanks, dave. i have to tell you there's many times when i'm very proud to be the chief of the san francisco police department and get to work in collaboration with the fbi and the citizens -- [ sirens ] >> we're still busy. [laughter] >> so again, there's many times
8:35 am
when i get to field the pride of being a san francisco police officer and none more than today. working with the fbi and i have told you, i had just gotten off the phone with special agent in charge, johnson, maybe about 45 minutes before this arrest took place. we had been in constant contact. this suspect, mr. chamberlain, was a very dangerous and desperate person, i think you could tell from facebook and social media attributed to him yesterday, that was only escalating and yet officers both from this office and the san francisco police department were responding pretty much anywhere they could or anything that was attributed to his whereabouts. at about 6:30 last night, a citizen and again god bless the citizens sending in all of the tips reported that they saw somebody that they believed might be mr. chamberlain at
8:36 am
marina greens. officer rupert her raul da and irwin were there -- herald and irwin were there immediately. they thought it was him. the suspect tried to flee the scene. they bave chase without any -- gave chase without any regard to their own safety. a struggle ensued. i think people have seen the video of that. unbelievable police work and collaboration with our federal partners to get somebody that was absolutely growing more desperate by the moment in crisis. which brings me to a plea, if anybody knows anything reportedly in a dark place or something where they may cause danger to themselves or
8:37 am
something else, please report t there are more resources in san francisco maybe than anywhere to help somebody in crisis before they can harm themselves or others. there's a phrase called the predict able surprise, what do you think? they knew it was coming to some varying degree. if you know it's coming tell us now. tell us ahead of time before anybody ing can hurt, including the person in the dark place. god bless the men and women of the police department and the fbi. hopefully about mr.-- mr. chamberlain will be attended to. he will be looked after in the federal justice system for what's been reported. thank you to all of the officers and our bomb techs for putting themselves in harm's way in favor of the public.

8:39 am
significant ail tempts to try to find him -- attempts to try to find him, before he had an opportunity to do anything. i'm not saying he was planning any of those types of activities but we just wanted to make sure that the public safety was number one and we were gonna take care of that. >> you are listening in to a live news conference by the fbi as well as chief greg suhr. to retap, ryan chamberlain taken into chud -- to recap, ryan chamberlain taken into custody. it remains an ongoing investigation. you heard chief suhr saying he was very proud working with the fbi also very proud of the public. they had hundred of tips coming in about where chamberlain may be at. they also offered a plea to the public, if there's anyone you suspect being in danger, please contact them immediately. again, ryan chamberlain in custody. his hearing is scheduled for
