T he San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) has had more than its share of controversy and publicity recently between its involvement in the Zebra Case, the Patty Hearst-SLA Case, and the unprecedented police and fire strike of August 1975. But my concern in this article is with a somewhat less publicized controversy: the ongoing struggle to obtain court-ordered quotas of minority group members in SFPD hiring. Though perhaps less sensational than random street shootings and political kidnappings, quota hiring presents social and economic issues that directly affect most medium and large-sized employers today. Hence, I would like to share some of the SFPD's experiences with quota hiring, and present some of my own reactions to them
