CLASS INSTRUCTOR

Grand Master Ken Craig is a 9th Degree Black Belt in the Korean Arts of HapMoosaKi-Do and YongChul-Do and an 8th Degree Black Belt in the Koran Art of TaeKwon-Do. He is Secretary on the Board of Directors of the International Association of Gay and Lesbian Martial Artists and serves on the Sports Committee of the Federation of Gay Games.

Chief Ken Craig is head of the (CPS) which provides training and assistance to safety organizations worldwide. He is a member of the International Police Association and is one of the original founding members of Castro Community On Patrol (CCOP.) He currently serves as the Community Co-Chair on the SFPD Chief's LGBTQ+ Community Advisory Forum and previously helped to found and lead the SFPD Auxiliary Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) for eight years.

COMMUNITY PATROL SERVICE

(CPS) is a nonprofit, entirely volunteer run, organization that seeks to build comprehensive collaborative efforts on safety and security between residents, businesses, private security and law enforcement agencies. We also support and assist in the development of Community Walking Patrols and advocate for general safety and security measures at the neighborhood, city, state and national level.

CPS developed the original training model for Castro Community On Patrol, and we remain a Brother/Sister organization to CCOP, continuing to provide training and resources to that program.

CASTRO COMMUNJITY ON PATROL

(CCOP) members are unpaid community volunteers who make a positive difference in the Castro neighborhood.

Deploying regular weekly uniformed and visible “Safety Patrols” of three members, Castro Community On Patrol (CCOP) offers general safety information and guidance, advice, and an extra set of “eyes and ears” for the community. Our Patrollers encourage good behavior and our presence helps to prevent, or quickly address, bad behavior in the neighborhood. As unpaid community volunteers, we don’t physically break up fights or make arrests, but since 2006 we have had a significant positive impact on the overall safety of the Castro neighborhood. And of course, when we need to, we can immediately call on the services of the professional responders in the Police and Fire Departments that we work closely with.

MOST HOLY REDEEMER CATHOLIC CHURCH

The parish offers a spiritual home to all: senior citizens and youth; single people and families; those who are straight, gay, lesbian, and transgender; the healthy and the sick, particularly persons with HIV/AIDS.
