This legislation calls for a hearing to investigate when city departments, including the SFPD and Human Rights Commission, became aware of fraudulent activities and what actions were taken afterward. It also requests reports from the Mayor, City Controller, Human Resources Department, and SFPD regarding these issues.
Hearing to identify what and when departments knew about fraudulent activities within the Executive Branch Departments, such as the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) and Human Rights Commission (HRC), and their contractors, as well as what preventative follow-up steps were implemented after, including review for conflicts of any staff taking over these functions and duties; and requesting the Mayor, City Controller, Human Resources Department, and SFPD to report.
