If you call the SFPD after you got robbed, they might not get to you for days or weeks. It’s just another wrinkle in the ugly narrative surrounding crime in this town – a narrative McCray has helped promote nationally with regular appearances on Fox News.
Tracy McCray, the new acting president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association. , distributed to all members of San Francisco’s police union. She’s the acting president of the politically powerful organization that represents 2,000 members with a $3.5 million annual budget. But that didn’t stop robbers from smashing her car window. Good to know our local thieves don’t discriminate.
“Robberies are not slowing down. Unfortunately, every morning, I get to read the big 19. It’s the list of all the major crimes that are happening. And robberies aren’t going anywhere,” McCray said in a wide-ranging “get to know ya” interview with The Examiner. “It’s unfortunate. But I think it’s the perfect storm, because now you have a police force that is very short. We have to triage our calls. … You don’t have officers out where we did before. It’s just too thin.
McCray echoed that concern in our talk, explaining that officers have to reply to calls for in-progress crimes first. If you call the SFPD after you got robbed, they might not get to you for days or maybe even weeks. It’s just another wrinkle in the ugly narrative surrounding crime in this town – a narrative McCray has helped promote nationally with regular appearances on Fox News.
McCray was a basketball star and attended Catholic school at St. Rose Academy. “My stomping ground was Hamilton Playground,” she said. “That’s where I kind of grew up.” She’s direct and honest, with zero BS. She’s also the first woman, first Black and first lesbian to hold the job, taking over for Tony Montoya, who left the job on medical leave and will retire officially on June 1. The POA, as it’s known among its members, has been a controversial organization over time. It’s often viewed as over-protective of bad cops, resistant to reform.
