The contract represents a continuation of the city’s and county’s working relationship with Hillard Heintze, which began in January 2016 under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) through the Collaborative Reform Initiative for Technical Assistance program.

“Hillard Heintze has a deep and longstanding commitment to San Francisco and its police department,” said Arnette Heintze, the firm’s founder and Chief Executive Officer. “It is an honor to be formally engaged to help this iconic city continue to establish the hallmarks of a model, progressive police department.
