Christopher Dunne
San Francisco
Summary
With a distinguished career at the City and County of San Francisco, I excel in leadership, mentoring junior officers, and coordinating high-stakes operations. My expertise as a certified Spanish translator and proficiency in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu enhance team capabilities and community relations. Demonstrated success in investigative work and event security underscores my commitment to public safety and officer development.
Baseball, more specifically catching, has been in my family for generations. My grandfather, Bert Dunne, played baseball at Notre Dame, and then with the New York Giants. He was Ted Williams hitting instructor (was referenced several times in the the Ted Williams biography "The Kid: The Immortal Life of Ted Williams."). My father played baseball at the University of San Francisco and would later return as a member of the coaching staff, led by famous USF coach, Dante Benedetti.
