This week, the San Francisco Police Commission elected openly-transgender Commissioner Theresa Sparks as the new President of the Commission. Sparks, who joined the commission in 2004, has a long history of advocating for the transgender community, including working on a set of transgender-specific policy reforms adopted by the Police Commission in 2003. With this election, Sparks becomes the city's first openly transgender President of a major commission and likely the city's highest ranking transgender official.
