Tony Montoya - SFPOA President

I am extremely honored and humbled by my recent appointment to the Presidency of the San Francisco Police Officers Association. To represent and defend members of the SFPD who serve and protect our community 24/7, as their President, is without a doubt one of the all-time highlights of my 29-year career in law enforcement. I have represented members of this fine organization as a Director from Mission Station, as the Secretary of the POA, as the Vice President of the POA, and as a committee member on multiple POA Committees.

Some say timing is everything. Maybe yes, maybe no. Whichever it is, the timing was right for President Marty Halloran who, on May 16, 2018, resigned his presidency of the San Francisco Police Officers Association. At the monthly Board of Directors Meeting, Marty announced that he was stepping down as POA President, and proudly returning to the rank-and-file.

The POA and the City share a common goal of significantly increasing the number of cops in our Department. But based on the proposals put forward at the bargaining table for a new MOU, it appears that only the POA is committed to reaching that goal.
