Dramatic accident: New officer arrested after DUI!
An SFPD rookie was arrested for DUI resulting in serious injuries in a crash just days after graduating.
Dramatic accident: New officer arrested after DUI!
On June 22, 2025, there were several police-related incidents in San Francisco that caused a stir in recent days. Including an arrest that brought the city into the spotlight. Jue, a sheriff, was recently arrested after being involved in a crime that caught the attention of authorities. The circumstances of his arrest are particularly noteworthy because they occurred shortly after another serious incident involving a newly graduated police officer.
Another incident was already in the news on Saturday, when Jue's arrest took place. 28-year-old SFPD Police Officer Ryan Kwong was arrested after operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol just two days after graduating from police training. Like the reporting from SFist shows, a collision occurred around 1:59 a.m. in the Outer Sunset area, severely damaging a minivan with three occupants. A total of five people were injured in this crash, including one person with serious injuries.
Details of the incidents
Officer Kwong's arrest occurred on Saturday, and photos from the scene show that one of the vehicles crashed into a concrete base, resulting in several injuries. Fortunately, neither Kwong nor his passenger suffered any life-threatening injuries. The SFPD confirmed that Kwong was off-duty at the time of the incident and had not yet completed his practical training. Police Chief Bill Scott emphasized the expectation that off-duty officers must also respect the law.
Reactions to the incident were not long in coming. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie expressed concern about the condition of those injured and underscored the need for police officers to be role models, particularly in respect of law enforcement. The San Francisco Police Officers Association made it clear that there is no excuse for drunk driving, especially for members of the police force. These incidents come at a time when discussions are increasing about a possible reduction in training time at the SFPD Academy due to staffing shortages.
Jue's arrest, closely linked to the Officer Kwong incident, raises further questions about how the San Francisco Police Department can maintain its standards. While investigations into both incidents are ongoing, it remains to be seen what measures authorities will take to increase public trust in the police.
