A MESSAGE FROM CENTRAL STATION’S CAPTAIN
We sat down with Captain Christopher Del Gandio to talk about what’s happening at Central Station, the partnerships that are making a difference, and what’s ahead for our community.
After briefly working in law enforcement on the East Coast, he moved to San Francisco. He did field training at Ingleside, his probationary assignment at Central in 2008, and then a permanent post at Mission Station before being promoted to sergeant. He returned to Central as a lieutenant from 2019 to 2022 and now returns as a captain.
“It feels like I’m back home,” he said. “Not too many people get to come to Central three times. I’m super blessed that I made it back… We have the Chinatown foot beat, the North Beach foot beat, and now a new Lower Nob Hill foot beat. The Chinatown foot beat officers all speak Cantonese, which really helps with connecting to the community.”
