Hongisto Richard
Richard Hongisto was a businessman, politician, sheriff, and police chief of San Francisco CA and Cleveland OH. He earned a reputation for activism, fighting discrimination within the police force and against police brutality. He was a co-founder of Officers for Justice, an organization of officers who were primarily racial minorities or gay. He was elected SF sheriff in 1971, shocking the political establishment as the incumbent, Matthew Carberry, had been a four-term sheriff and had been considered a shoo-in. Hongisto was the first sheriff to hire gay and lesbian deputies. After serving as sheriff in SF, Hongisto briefly moved to Cleveland in 1977, where he served as police chief, but eventually was fired by the mayor on live local TV. The Governor of New York then invited Hongisto to manage that state's prison system, but Hongisto returned to SF to run for Supervisor in 1980, and later ran for Assessor. In 1991, he ran for mayor but came in fourth in a race won by police chief Frank Jordan, who appointed Hongisto as SF's police chief in 1992. Hongisto's tenure as police chief lasted only six weeks, due to his handling of rioters and demonstrators in the wake of the Rodney King police brutality trial in Los Angeles. Hongisto left public life to become a businessman and real estate investor, apart from an unsuccessful run for County Supervisor in 2000.
