San Francisco, CA — Mayor London N. Breed today announced that she is nominating Nancy Tung and Geoffrey Gordon-Creed to serve on the Police Commission, the seven-member body charged with setting policy for the Police Department and conducting disciplinary hearings when police conduct charges are filed.

Tung, a Deputy District Attorney, will replace the former Commissioner Bob Hirsch, and Gordon-Creed, an attorney and former Ethics Commissioner, will replace former Commissioner Thomas Mazzucco.

“I am proud to nominate Nancy Tung and Geoffrey Gordon-Creed to the Police Commission,” said Mayor Breed. “Both are well-respected not only in the legal community, but also for their work within San Francisco. I am confident that Nancy and Geoffrey will help us build on the progress we have made to continue reforming our Police Department while ensuring that our all of our communities are safe and well-represented.”

Tung has served as a Deputy District Attorney in Alameda County since 2017, focusing on investigating and prosecuting civil law enforcement actions against corporations based on California’s Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law. She served as an Assistant District Attorney in San Francisco from 2006 to 2017. She is an active member in numerous local organizations and is an advocate for gun reform as part of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. She resides in the South of Market neighborhood.

“I am honored and humbled to be asked to serve on the San Francisco Police Commission. I have worked in the San Francisco law enforcement community for most of my career as a prosecutor, and I believe that we can protect our community while honoring our progressive values. I look forward to working with my fellow commissioners to bring greater accountability and responsiveness to the San Francisco Police Department,” said Tung.

Gordon-Creed is an attorney who has worked in private practice since 1994. He previously worked as a Deputy City Attorney in San Francisco and served on the Ethics Commission from 1995-1998. Gordon-Creed has served on the Board of the Richmond District YMCA since 2012 and currently serves as Board Chair. In addition, he serves as the Board Chair of Point Blue Conservation Science. He lives in the Richmond District.

“I want to thank Mayor Breed for nominating me to this position and look forward to the opportunity to once again serve our City,” said Gordon-Creed. “From my prior experience as a Deputy City Attorney representing members of the Police Department, and from my experience representing the Office of Citizen Complaints, I understand the critical role the Police Commission plays in ensuring that policing in our communities keeps San Francisco’s citizens safe, that our officers and civilian personnel have the resources and training they need to do their jobs, and that all San Francisco residents have confidence in the Department and access to justice. I look forward to working collaboratively with community stakeholders, Commissioners, and other partners to implement the reforms currently underway and help the Commission continue its important role in overseeing the Department.”
