San Francisco Police said they will not march in this year’s Pride Parade in protest over organizers’ new decision not to allow officers to wear their uniform during the annual LGBTQ event.
The SFPD Officers Pride Alliance announced their decision Monday. Firefighters and sheriff’s deputies said they would also not march during the June 26 parade down Market Street.
The San Francisco Police Department will provide security for the event, according to a press release from the officers pride alliance. The group says they have been in discussions with the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee, about incorporating uniformed officers into the event, but could not reach a compromise with the group that oversees the parade.
