Bisa French is back as the Richmond police chief after an administrative investigation that lasted nearly a year.
RICHMOND — Richmond police Chief Bisa French is back on the job, after being on administrative leave for nearly a year after she and her husband, an Oakland police sergeant, were accused of abuse by a family member who they believed was being manipulated by her pimp.
“It’s just been a nightmare for them to have to live through this and to see the destruction of a wonderful, vibrant young woman,” said Mike Rains, an attorney representing the Frenchs. He said the couple has phone records proving their family member was in contact with Goldman before she turned 18.as well as three criminal investigations that basically went nowhere.
Bisa French’s return was announced in a department-wide email that came Friday afternoon, just hours after a Solano County Superior Court judge struck down a restraining order request filed by Goldman last January. The request named Bisa French as the lone respondent and sought an order that she stay away from Goldman for at least two years. And questions still remain about the conclusions of the Richmond and Oakland police internal investigations.
His comments were a contrast from the mayor’s initial reaction to the news that French had been put on leave from the police department. At that time, Butt sent out a mass public email accusing then-City Manager Laura Snideman of misrepresenting the nature of Bisa French’s leave by first telling staff it was “personal leave” and days later — after reporters were tipped off — acknowledging that French was on administrative leave.
