Matt Krimsky was a career Law Enforcement Officer with 30 years’ service, retiring from the San Francisco Police Department in the rank of Inspector-Sergeant (Detective Supervisor) in 2012.

Matt joined the Continuing Challenge Committee in 2012 and supported us through Cal OES, CSTI.

While at California Office of Emergency Services/California Specialized Training Institute, since 2013, Matt had managed the Institute’s Technician Modules C and D, Technician-Specialist Refresher, WMD-Technician-Specialist Terrorism, and First Responder-Law Enforcement Operations courses till he retired in 2019.

Matt was often described as “Part Motivational Speaker, Part Stand-up Comedian, and all Cop.”

Matt did not demand respect; he earned the respect that he received from so many.

Matt, you will be missed, your friends at the Continuing Challenge and beyond.
