SAN FRANCISCO – Philippine Consul General in San Francisco Neil Frank Ferrer met with San Francisco Police Commission member Kevin Benedicto last May.
The two sides exchanged views on developments in policing and public safety in San Francisco. They also discussed possible partnership in engaging with the Filipino American community on raising awareness on human trafficking, AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) hate, domestic violence, and other issues related to public safety.
Atty. Benedicto is the first Filipino American member of the San Francisco Police Commission. He was appointed in 2022 and is serving a four-year term in the seven-person SF Police Commission. Since 2015, he has been practicing law in San Francisco both as a civil litigator and a civil rights attorney.
