About the Program:
Chief Heather Fong represents a new regime in the San Francisco Police department. The police department was at the forefront of controversy with allegations of police misconduct right before Fong took on the task of Chief of Police. Since coming into power, the 27-year department veteran has made a positive impact with a range of reforms designed to make officers more accountable to the general public. How does she plan to rebuild the department's reputation and what is her response to the recent surge in homicide within San Francisco borders?
