Chris Kohrs
Ever have dreams of being famous? Or avoid social media like the plague? Here are the days of being instafamous and everyone knows nothing is real unless it’s Facebook Official. For better or for worse, the Internet can make you famous from a single viral photo or video.
Back in June 2014, you could not miss the “Hot Felon” mugshot that was plastered online and all over television. Within a few weeks, a new face surfaced: pictures of a San Francisco police officer working in the famed Castro District who would eventually become known around the world as the “Hot Cop of Castro.”
It has been nearly a year since he became the “Hot Cop of Castro” but there is no mistaking that Officer Chris Kohrs still has a dedicated fan base that continues to support him. Even with all of the new-found fame and following, the seven year veteran of the SFPD has remained just as dedicated to serving his city and community.
With the seemingly never ending bad publicity that law enforcement has endured in recent years, it was interesting to talk with Officer Kohrs and get his take on different aspects of the life of a police officer these days.
