Charles 'Charlie' Gain[1] (November 1, 1923 – August 21, 2018) was an American police official, who served first as police chief for Oakland, California, then as chief in San Francisco in the 1970s.[2][3] He was born in Hanford, California.[4]

In 1975, Gain was appointed to run the San Francisco Police Department by Mayor George Moscone and served until 1980.[5] After Gain began implementing reforms, such as switching police cars from their traditional black and white paint scheme to baby blue,[6] the Police Officers Association held a no-confidence vote on him.[7] After Moscone was assassinated in 1978, the union was influential in engineering Gain's replacement after the resulting White Night riots.[8] He died from respiratory failure in August 2018 at the age of 94.[9]
