SAN FRANCISCO, California—The San Francisco Police Department’s initiative to partner with Asian Pacific Islanders on the issue of community safety received high marks from Chief Greg Suhr.

The new police chief urged members of the Community Forums to focus on the youth. “You’ve been selected to be in this advisory team to help us weave a safer community,” Said Chief Suhr to 75 invited San Franciscans representing labor, faith based, CBO’s and business groups.
“We all learn right or we would not be here together so let’s bring the kids along with us,” said Suhr.
