Eight suspended San Francisco police officers have been allowed to return to duty after department administrative hearings concluded they had minimal roles in the production of videos deemed offensive by city leaders, authorities said Tuesday.
The eight officers had hearings Monday and their status reviewed Tuesday by Chief Heather Fong.
All of the first eight will soon return to work, authorities said. Eight other officers under investigation in the scandal had similar hearings Tuesday and probably will return to duty as well, authorities said.
Fong said Tuesday that all the administrative hearings would be completed by Thursday. She said the department's Bayview Station had not suffered because of the loss of the two dozen suspended officers.
"There has not been any compromising'' in the level of service, she said.
The key figure in the video case, Officer Andrew Cohen, the producer of the videos, is expected to have his hearing today and has scheduled a news conference at the Hall of Justice.
Cohen intended to show the videos at the station's Christmas party but then released some segments on the Internet.
The head of the Police Officers Association, Gary Delagnes, said the eight officers who had hearings Tuesday were awaiting a decision on reinstatement.
"I expect all of them to be returned to work,'' Delagnes said.
"It was a big deal, then, all of a sudden, it lost steam fast,'' Delagnes said of the video fiasco.
