into good policy is our former captain john joe garrity, and now you can applaud. (applause) >> so, we all knew that this day would come, but it was not a day that i was looking forward to. i had the pleasure of getting to know and working with captain garrity my first 2-1/2 years in office. and during that time i learned that he is a stellar leader, a stellar human being, and a story teller. and [speaker not understood] all here today fell in love with you over the last 2-1/2 years. and i actually remember a year ago when there were rumors that captain garrity might be moved, i saw the chief and i stopped him and i threatened to throw my body across the door of the tenderloin station if that was to happen. it did not happen that one time, but then better news came along most recently. one of the pleasures of coming into office are meeting individuals that defy the stereotype of the government
