Francis M. “Frank” Jordan (born February 20, 1935) is a U.S. politician. He served as the Mayor of San Francisco, California from 1992, succeeding Art Agnos, until January, 1996, after being defeated by former California State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown in the November, 1995 mayoral election. He continued Agnos' campaign against the city's chapter of Food Not Bombs and introduced a controversial program called Matrix which aimed to deal with the city's homelessness problems. Before becoming mayor, Jordan served as the Chief of Police for San Francisco. Many attribute Jordan's 1995 election defeat to a stunt with Los Angeles radio DJs Mark & Brian who convinced Jordan to shower with them, completely nude, during a live radio show.[1] Subsequent to his loss of mayoral office, Jordan continued his quest to address the issue of homelessness in San Francisco.

In 1999, Jordan attempted a come-back bid for Mayor of San Francisco, but came in third place behind Willie Brown and Tom Ammiano.

At a conference at USF Jordan was reported to have said, "Since I have been the mayor and chief of police, I believe disciplinary procedures are very important to have in the hands of the chief of police," The panel also specifically recommended that the chief be given the power to suspend an officer for up to 90 days. Currently suspensions are limited to 10 days [2]
