The San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association extends its thoughts and well wishes to the two San Francisco Police Department officers injured in the line of duty this morning while responding to a theft incident in the Nob Hill neighborhood. Reports indicate that both officers were struck by a vehicle during a foot pursuit and sustained injuries while attempting to apprehend a suspect. Fortunately, both officers are expected to recover.

Every day, law enforcement professionals place themselves in harm’s way to protect the communities we serve. Incidents like this serve as a reminder of the unpredictable dangers public safety personnel face while performing their duties.

On behalf of the SFDSA Executive Board and our membership, we wish these officers a full and speedy recovery and extend our appreciation to the first responders and medical personnel who assisted at the scene.

Stay safe and heal quickly.

The San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association stands in solidarity with our brothers and sisters of the San Francisco Police Officers Association following the shooting of an SFPD officer in the line of duty.

Every day, law enforcement professionals throughout San Francisco answer the call knowing that routine moments can become life-threatening in an instant. Last night’s incident is a sobering reminder of the risks our officers face while protecting the communities we serve.

We are grateful to hear that the injured officer is expected to recover, and we extend our thoughts and prayers to the officer, their family, partners, and the entire SFPD family during this difficult time.

To our members: incidents like this serve as an important reminder to remain vigilant, trust your training, utilize sound tactics, and continue looking out for one another. Whether assigned to custody, courts, patrol, transportation, investigations, or community programs, your safety must always remain the top priority.

The SFDSA proudly stands with the San Francisco Police Officers Association and all first responders who put themselves in harm’s way to keep our city safe.

Wishing the injured officer a full and speedy recovery.

The SFDSA would like to sincerely thank everyone who attended and supported our event as we welcomed the new Executive Board.

We are especially grateful to District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, San Francisco Sheriff's Office Sheriff Paul Miyamoto, Mayor’s Chief of Public Safety Steven Betz, and District 4 Supervisor Alan Wong for taking the time to speak and engage with attendees. Your presence highlighted the importance of collaboration between public safety professionals, city leadership, labor organizations, and the communities we serve.

Thank you as well to our fellow labor partners such as San Francisco Police Officers Association and IAFF Local 798, elected officials, community stakeholders, and supporters who joined us for the evening. Strong relationships and open communication remain critical as we continue advocating for safe working conditions, effective public safety policy, and the wellbeing of San Francisco’s communities.

We also want to recognize the members of the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office and, most importantly, our families and loved ones — whose support and sacrifice make this work possible every day.

The SFDSA looks forward to moving forward with professionalism, partnership, and a renewed commitment to serving both our members and the people of San Francisco.

Thank you again to everyone who made the evening such a success.

This week, communities across the United States come together in observance of National Police Week — a time dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of fallen law enforcement professionals throughout our nation.

National Police Week serves as a reminder of the difficult and often dangerous work carried out every day by peace officers, deputy sheriffs, police officers, investigators, dispatchers, and public safety professionals who have committed themselves to protecting others. It is also a solemn opportunity to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty while serving their communities.

The SFDSA joins organizations, agencies, and families across the country in honoring the fallen and recognizing the courage, professionalism, and dedication of America’s law enforcement community.

To all who wear the badge — and to the families who stand beside them — thank you for your service, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to public safety.
