Mayor Lee & Chief Suhr have just unveiled their “SFPD It Gets Better” video as part of the nationwide campaign to end bullying of LGBT youth – and it’s a really good one too. This is the first and only Police Department to have made a video for the campaign.

The objective of the video is to provide a message of transformation, hope and encouragement to LGBT youth that it does get better. “Today our Police Department joins the nationwide campaign to end bullying of LGBT youth by producing a heartfelt video that provides a message of hope and encouragement that it will get better,” said Mayor Ed Lee. “San Francisco is a city that prides itself on embracing equality for all and this video is another great example of our commitment to reinforcing our City’s values.”

Chief Greg Suhr wants youth to know that it really does get better. “This is a first of its kind video for the SFPD and for any law enforcement agency in the United States. I hope this message of encouragement will give hope to anyone who might be bullied because of who they are. The members of the SFPD will continue to work with all young people and reach out to the communities, as mentors and role models.” The video is longer than some of the other “It Gets Better” videos, but it’s absolutely worth watching.
