SFPD rookie officer facing several charges in DUI crash that injured 3 others, DA's office says

Rookie San Francisco police officer Ryan Kwong, 28, faces multiple charges, including DUI and reckless driving, after a crash that injured three people. The San Francisco District Attorney's Office detailed that Kwong was allegedly intoxicated, with a blood alcohol concentration over the legal limit, and was driving at speeds exceeding 100 mph before colliding with a minivan. This incident occurred just days after Kwong graduated from the police academy, raising significant questions about the screening and accountability of new officers. Kwong is set to be arraigned at 1:30 p. m.

on Wednesday at the Hall of Justice. He has since been fired from the police department, according to reports from The San Francisco Standard. The incident underscores ongoing issues regarding DUI offenses and law enforcement standards. Local officials are likely to face scrutiny over police training and oversight policies in light of this incident. The community awaits further developments as the case progresses through the legal system.
