December 7, 2005

A city committee today unanimously recommended to the full Board of Supervisors appointment of David Campos and Petra DeJesus to the San Francisco Police Commission.

Both candidates embraced current city movement toward the concept of community policing.

Petra DeJesus was the early unanimous choice of the three-member Rules Committee, comprised of Chair Michela Alioto-Pier, Ross Mirkarimi and Aaron Peskin.

Alioto-Pier initially preferred John Bittoff for the second slot. Bittoff is is a retired naval admiral, and now serves as executive director of the School District maintenance and operations department.

She joined Peskin and Mirkarimi in supporting Campos, after her motion to recommend Bittoff failed on a 1-2 vote.

Applicant h. brown, a political satirist, briefly disrupted the meeting with complaint that he had not been informed of today's committee hearing.

'Don't yell at me,' Mirkarimi insists to brown.

Peskin produced a letter dated December 7, 2005, informing brown of committee hearing date.

h. brown told the committee, "The problem with the SFPD is the citizens are not in charge of the police department, the mayor's not in charge of the police department and the police chief's not in charge of the police department. Gary Delagnes is in charge. Citizens, you have no control over your police department and that's a problem".
