"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.” Police Chief George Gascon (quoted in the Bay Guardian, March 12, 2010)

"Those businesses that get good service love it." 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)
