"Almost every commercial area in my district relies
on the Patrol Specials as a supplement to standard
police public safety services...[ I write to express] my
support for the Patrol Specials and my belief that the
program should continue to serve the community."
Scott Wiener, Supervisor, District 8
(From letter addressed to the San Francisco Police
Commission, April 20, 2011)
"There’s no question that in some places there are
people who certainly are in favor of having Patrol
Specials. This is not to take away from the quality of
service that Patrol Special officers provide because I
think some of them are very professional and they are
very courteous and very effective in what they do.”
Former Police Chief George Gascon
(quoted in the Bay Guardian,
March 12, 2010)
"Those businesses that get good service love it." Former
Police Commission President, Dr. Joe Marshall (quoted in
the
SF Examiner, November 3, 2010)
"There is a role for the special police as extra eyes
and ears for police officers."
Gary Delagnes, President, Police Officers Association
(reported in the Wall Street Journal 11/18/10) |
