		Newsom told Fong she had won the post on Friday and said he had intended to make the news public on Sunday, but held off after a San Francisco police officer was slain late Saturday, the first SFPD officer to die in the line of duty in a decade.
		Fong, 47, assumed control of the SFPD from former Chief Alex Fagan Sr., who came to symbolize the public's lack of confidence in the department last year when his son, a rookie, and two other off-duty officers were accused of assaulting two men over a bag of fajitas.
		Fong briefly filled in as chief then after Chief Earl Sanders and Fagan, the second-in-command, were indicted amid allegations that they had tried to cover up the actions of Fagan's son.

		Fong, a 26-year department veteran, is the first Asian woman and only the eighth woman ever to take the helm of a big city police department, according to Penny Harrington, founder of the National Center for Women and Policing.
		The one hitch is that Newsom has designated Fong as acting chief while the city conducts a nationwide search for a permanent leader, which Newsom considers necessary, given last year's scandal involving alleged cover-ups of officer misconduct, and the department's relatively low crime-solving rate.
		But Newsom said that he also expects Fong to be a top contender for the job and that she is fully empowered to make reforms in the meantime.
