"Whether as a first responder, an advocate for underserved populations, or a leader fostering collaboration, he has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to meet challenges with both strength and empathy," Lurie said about Crispen in a press release. "And he will demonstrate that ability every day in service of the safety of San Franciscans."
Sherman Tillman, a captain and the former two-term president of the San Francisco Black Firefighters Association, said Crispen is 'a fireman’s fireman.' Tillman, who has worked at the department for 26 years, said he has known Crispen for decades. Tillman ranks Crispen - who used to serve as a captain at several stations including Station 1 in SoMa and other stations in Chinatown and North Beach before matriculating to battalion chief - as the 'greatest captain in the world.'
