San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott is resigning after eight years, with Mayor Daniel Lurie announcing his departure as leading to a 'new opportunity'. Scott, appointed in 2016, claims his tenure was an honor and cites improvements in the department's performance. His resignation follows recent tensions surrounding police overtime costs, notably a $61 million bill that caught the Board of Supervisors off guard. Lurie plans to work with Scott over the next six weeks for a smooth transition amidst these controversies.
Scott's departure coincides with increased scrutiny on police spending, particularly after a surprise $61 million overtime bill for the SFPD that shocked the Board of Supervisors.
Scott stated, 'Serving as the chief of police for this great city for the past eight years has been one of the greatest honors of my life', reflecting his commitment to service.
