any way, moving right along, we are oddly enough right at the close of this. the big, exciting moment is about to take place shortly. before that, we would like to bring on the police commissioner of this wonderful city of san francisco. ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to introduce to you ms. angela chan. [applause] >> good afternoon. i am a member of the san francisco police commission and a staff attorney at the asian law caucus. i am honored to be here today. first, i would like to congratulate ross mirkarimi, our [applause] let me tell you a little bit about our next sheriff. he was born in chicago to a
8:40 pm
person american father and a jewish russian-american mother. he has the pleasure of her being here today. nancy, if you could please stand up and say hello to everyone? that would be wonderful. [applause] sheriff mirkarimi graduated from the san francisco police academy and was president of his class after moving to san francisco over 28 years ago. prior to being elected to the board of supervisors, he served in the san francisco district attorney's office, investigating white-collar crime. as a member -- yes, please. [applause] as a member of the board of supervisors, sheriff mirkarimi has been an outspoken advocate for policies and programs that increase public safety for all san francisco. [applause]
8:41 pm
among his many accomplishments on the board, the sheriff offered legislation that created the state communities reentry council, coordinating local efforts to break the cycle of crime by giving former offenders the tools that they need to get back on the right path. he spearheaded efforts to strengthen community policing because he believes it should be at the heart of any sound public safety strategy. [applause] he has strongly advocated for increasing police foot patrols, so that there is more regular face-to-face interaction between community members and officers that serve them. [applause] now, as sheriff mirkarimi takes over at the helm of the sheriff's department, he has the distinct honor and challenge of carrying on in furthering the proud legacy that sheriff hennessy has built and left behind. san francisco is known for being at the forefront of progressive
8:42 pm
policy. for over 30 years, cheryl hennessey has implemented smart and successful reforms, including programs that allow inmates to reflect on and adjust the harm that they have done to their victims and the community. [applause] sheriff hennessy also founded the five keys charter school, which provides inmates with life skills and career training, connections for groups that treat substance addiction, and eligibility for parenting skills programs. [applause] sheriff hennessy has also been a staunch proponent of immigrant rights, something near and dear to my heart. san francisco is a world-class history -- city, due in part to the history and the community that integrate into our political and socioeconomic
8:43 pm
fabric. sheriff hennessy valued this about san francisco and had been a national leader in pushing back against the deeply flawed secure communities program. [applause] the sheriff made the front pages because of how outspoken he had been against immigration -- and in it -- anti-immigration programs. this process has resulted in over 100,000 people being deported nationally. because the program operates pre-conviction, ice is notified upon arrest, even if the person is innocent or a victim of crime. sheriff hennessy voiced strong concerns about this level of entanglement between local law enforcement and immigration, which is a drain on local
8:44 pm
resources and, more importantly, it creates distrust between immigrants and the police. last summer, after sheriff hennessy learned that local law enforcement does not have to respond to ice containers in immigration custody, he brought -- revised department policy do not respond to ice in these cases. [applause] several other cities have reformed their own policies to start getting out of the federal immigration enforcement business. as with all other policies, we often get criticized by fox news conservative press for some of our innovative resolutions and policies. you know what? wait a few years and everyone else follows suit. that is exactly what share at hennessy has done.
8:45 pm
-- that is exactly what share of tennessee has done. i asked -- sheriff hennessy has done. i asked sheriff mirkarimi to challenge institutions. as i am sure that he would agree, no other institution is as broken as our criminal justice system. [applause] sheriff hennessey made great strides in paving the way for san francisco's innovative criminal justice policy to serve as an example for all other counties in california and throughout the country. sheriff mirkarimi, you haven't earned the honor and distinction of carrying the torch. the best to you, as you embark on this venture. thank you for being here today. please join me again in congratulating sheriff mirkarimi. [applause]
8:46 pm
now, i have the honor of introducing the former mayor of san francisco, who will be swearing in sheriff mirkarimi. [applause] >> thank you very much. this is an important day in our city. a day where we take the oath of office for our elected leaders. i am very proud to be the installing officer today. i have been on the other end of taking the oath over the years and i always kind of thought about something that i will do with you today, because this is the perfect audience. be taken out of office to protect this city, make it better, and work for it. but we cannot do it alone. every elected official, from the border supervisors to the state senate, we all know that we need you to be really successful.
8:47 pm
2000 years ago, in ancient greece, all of the residents took an oath to make their city better. so, today, in san francisco, i am going to ask you to stand up right now -- everybody, stand-up -- right now, everybody. hold up your right hand. repeat after me. i promised upon my -- i promise upon my honor to make this city stronger, more compassionate, and more just that i found that -- and i found at -- then i found it -- than i found it.
