Capt. Sandra Tong: Police Beat

There was an unceremonious "change of command" at the Richmond Police Station on Sept. 15.

I have been transferred. My new assignment is at the SF Police Department's Homeland Security and Youth Services Unit. Your new commanding officer is Capt. Jere Williams.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the community, partners that I've worked with over the years and my exceptional team at the Richmond Station for a wonderful five years. Your support and willingness to work in partnership with the police to address problems in your neighborhood has made our district safer.

Together, we have achieved so many wonderful things that have positively impacted our community and increased public safety.

I am confident that you will continue to support the efforts of Capt. Williams and the officers at Richmond Station. Best wishes to all of you and again, thank you for making my command at Richmond Station rewarding and memorable.

Remember: "Traffic safety starts with you!"

Capt. Sandra Tong was the commanding officer at the Richmond Station.
