On July 1, former Park Station Police Captain Chris Pedrini transferred to the San Francisco International Airport, and Jack Hart became the new Park Station Captain. Captain Hart previously held commands at Ingleside Station, the Police Academy, and most recently (before Park Station) was the Night Captain in charge of the entire City during overnight hours.
Here is a further biography (copied from when he was Ingleside Captain):
Captain Jack Hart joined San Francisco Police Department in 1999 and has served in patrol assignments ranging from as a field training officer to as an attorney with the Department's Legal Division. As a California POST-certified instructor, he has taught constitutional law, criminal law, criminal procedure, and leadership courses to over 50 recruit classes. As a Sergeant, he led a street-crimes plainclothes enforcement team in the Bayview district. As a lieutenant, he was the officer-in-charge of the Candlestick Park detail, where he led the team of over 100 police officers policing over 70,000 people. As the captain assigned to SFPD's Homeland Security Unit, he was in charge of the Marine Unit and led the Department's mutual-aid response to the 2017 North Bay firestorm at the Department Operations' Center. Captain Hart is also a master instructor in the police leadership development course called "Blue Courage," where he has inspired police officers of all ranks in large and small departments across the country.
HANC welcomes Captain Hart, invites him to introduce himself at our upcoming meetings, and will provide time for questions and answers at a future meeting.
