Earlier today, the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC) hosted the 48th in a series of weekly COVID-19 response briefings for faith leaders. Today's special briefing featured San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) Chief William Scott, who addressed SFPD reform measures developed to mitigate law enforcement bias, racial profiling, excessive use of force and more positive efforts to engage with the community. Additionally, he discussed precautions being taken to protect our City's Asian community in these times of discrimination, hate and violence. During and following his presentation Chief Scott responded to questions submitted in advance by San Francisco faith leaders. 

Also participating were Zoom Briefing Moderator/SFIC Executive Director Michael Pappas, SFIC Board Chair/Shanti Project Executive Director Kaushik Roy, and UCSF Family Community Medicine Researcher/Third Baptist Church Associate Pastor/SF African American Faith-Based Coalition Executive Director Rev. Dr. Jonathan Butler. Special appreciation is extended to SFIC Program/Administrative Associate Cynthia Zamboukos and COVID Command Center's Joint Information Center Community Partners Group Coordinator John McKnight, Virtual Outreach Team Producer Alisa Kerawala, assisted by Lead Sharon Walton.
