Officers for Justice Endorsed Sheriff's Captain Paul Miyamoto for Sheriff

San Francisco, CA – The Paul Miyamoto for San Francisco Sheriff Campaign announced today the endorsement of Officers for Justice (OFJ).  Officers for Justice is an Association comprised of predominantly African American San Francisco Police Officers, which since 1971 has been a member of the National Black Police Association.

“As a career sheriff, Paul understands what it takes to lead an agency.  He knows what works for the Sheriff’s Department, and what doesn’t.”, said Julian Hill, President of OFJ.  “Sheriff’s Captain Miyamoto has worked side by side with the rank and file of the department and I know that he will enforce the same progressive principles that Sheriff Hennessey has employed over the past 30 years.”

Captain Miyamoto had this to say, “I am honored to have the endorsement of an organization that is not only respected by their peers, but in every neighborhood.  OFJ works hard every day to keep their ties to the community strong and I hope to build on that relationship and find ways the Sheriff’s Department can help to contribute to this effort.”

Officers for Justice joins California law enforcement agencies such as the San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, Peace Officers Research Association of California, the San Mateo and Alameda County DSA’s, the Northern Alliance of Law Enforcement, and the San Francisco Asian Peace Officer’s Association in supporting Captain Paul Miyamoto.  As a Captain in the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department, Paul has used his 15 years law enforcement experience to focus on keeping San Francisco resident’s safe and decreasing the recidivism rate by holding management roles in each of the six jails in the City and County of San Francisco.

Captain Miyamoto has run San Francisco’s toughest maximum security jail.  In addition, he has served as Commander of the Institutional Patrol Unit and Investigative Services Unit (Criminal and Internal Affairs) of the Sheriff’s Department and has served as Commander, Special Response Team.
