in all endeavors leadership it critical to success but as we move into the last part of this year leadership is not as critical to the san francisco police department we recently peace officer served through the you toughest recession in our lifetime we never said we can't do more with less we did that with less and good in san francisco thanks to the mayor and the full support of the board of supervisors we're under one of the biggest hiring pushlz all the new cops needs the leadership if they're required of the san francisco police officers to be the smallest thoughtful cops in the country this department to the challenges that lay before us across the country and in some community in san francisco folks are questioning over intentions and action as we perform with

the new video painting the law enforcement in an unfavorable light every year as fbi director spoke you can turn up the music on the radio or choose to have an open and honest discussion about the relationship today what it should and could be and needs to be if we took more time to understand one allocate across the country serious a debates how law enforcement will relate to the community about the appropriate use of force and the bias within an outside law enforcement we need to have this conversations similar conversation are being had within every police department as well or should be these kinetics is bumping and uncomfortable help us to understand and better serve san

francisco of course, those are only conversations and the true sense of the word only willing to talk not only but listen someone said you have to understand and be understood true words again quoting let us begin that difficult conversation by being honest to acknowledge that most of our law enforcement history in the country is not pretty at many points in american history before the members were borne are law enforcement enforced with status quo a status quo that was brooultd unfair to the labor groups and unfair to two many people a century ago the issuing my mom was issuing knew how well, the drills and the patty woolen is not named patty

wug because it's padded we need to be able to explain why we do what we do every time we do if we can't rethink what we're doing and to do it definitely there is a renewed on a procedural justice toy decade ourselves to not allow the bias that exists in all of us not judge cope to do our job fairly and objectively to do this today more than ever requires strong leadership it is with that in mind all the men and women are promoted were selected for the department leaders of tomorrow the best ladders are functional intelligence and demonstrate things the right way everyone on this stage actually not on the

other money need you no matter how smart not smart enough i've spoken about leadership what is leadership so let's look at was it isn't i spoke when he met at the academy management so not leadership management deals with routine not to take anything away from good management and you'll have to dwo do a lot more management but management management is not leadership there is no leadership need it is a distofrtd that leadership is require in a law enforcement around the country is a distortion and will take our leadership to get us to a better place but the leaders don't manage people they monitor them leaders don't follow the rules as they are without question and

set out to make better rules when needed leaders are looking for the replacements the future of the san francisco police department is on you it is not about what a leader can do himself or herself but accomplish with our violation and support whether you make sure that when people do a job get the credit it is about the balance of others replacement the golden rule do onto others as onto you this is echoes throughout the ages in every language and cultivate it is a philosophy to support others and you yourselves will be supporting and reaching our potential and chief the goals and be where we want to be back to today you have much to be
