Today, September 9th, 2024, President Ken Lomba met with Sheriff Miyamoto to discuss critical reforms to the testing process and the implementation of recruiting new applicants at second step pay. After a thoughtful discussion and debate on these pressing issues, Sheriff Miyamoto agreed to make these necessary changes.

We want to thank Sheriff Miyamoto for recognizing the importance of these adjustments, which will significantly enhance our ability to recruit and retain deputy sheriffs. This is a crucial step toward addressing our staffing shortages and ensuring a safer and more efficient San Francisco Sheriff's Office.

We look forward to seeing the positive impact these changes will have on our department and our community.
