San Francisco Police Chief William Scott has been the city’s top cop since January. He took over a department with numerous controversies, including a racist text scandal and several officer-involved fatalities. Scott will update us on efforts to reform the department and discuss Friday’s vote on whether San Francisco Police officers should be allowed to carry tasers. We’ll also hear what the department is doing to curb the approximately 85 car break-ins reported in San Francisco each day.

Guests:
William “Bill” Scott,
chief, San Francisco Police Department
