Glide Memorial Church also honored San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) Chief Bill Scott, who was transitioning from his role as one of San Francisco’s longest-serving chiefs of police.

My name is Vincent Smith. I’m 61. I’ve been coming to GLIDE since 1993. I’m originally from Richmond, Virgina. My 12-year-old daughter was killed by a drunk driver.

I also was able to participate in parenting classes and workshops at GLIDE, including a presentation put on by Kid Power International. I later participated in a violence intervention program led by GLIDE’s Women’s Center Program Manager, Ileana Montano.
