San Francisco Mayor-Elect Lurie Appoints Retired SFPD Commander Paul Yep as First Chief of Public Safety, Liaison
Jan 2, 2025, 07:36 PM
San Francisco Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie has appointed Paul Yep, a retired San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) commander, as the city's first Chief of Public Safety. Yep, who retired in 2023 after serving over 28 years with the SFPD, will oversee public safety policy and serve as a liaison between the mayor's office and various law enforcement agencies. This role is part of Lurie's new administration, which he emphasized as focusing on public safety during his campaign. Yep's appointment is seen as a strategic move, given his deep ties to the Chinese American community and his experience in public safety, having previously worked as a vice president at Academy of Art University overseeing campus safety.
