Transfer comes a week after Suhr pulled riot squad just before beat officer was hit.

San Francisco police Deputy Chief Greg Suhr, who pulled the riot squad from the streets during an anarchist protest last week just before a beat officer suffered a fractured skull in a confrontation with demonstrators, was reassigned Thursday and is likely to be moved out of the department.

Police Chief Heather Fong said she was transferring Suhr, a 24-year veteran officer, out of the 1,400-officer patrol bureau and recommending him for a job as chief of security for the city's Public Utilities Commission.

The action capped a week of turmoil in the department that began when Officer Peter Shields was clubbed over the head the night of July 8 after responding to a call about window-breaking protesters.

Fong insisted Thursday that there was no connection between Suhr's reassignment and an investigation she has ordered into why riot squad officers didn't respond to the call.

"The Friday incident and this assignment are two separate things,'' Fong said at a press conference. She said PUC General Manager Susan Leal had asked her for a recommendation for the security job about two months ago and that the two had been in discussions since then.
