"When one has worked on the streets
of this City for forty-three years as a Patrol Special Police
Officer without any adverse incident and with many valid and
appropriate arrests to protect the public, and when one has served
San Franciscan's with fairness and honesty, I appreciate Police
Commissioner President Thomas Mazzucco's public recognition of my
service on April 20, 2011. However, it is not just my service, but
the long service of many other officers that should be recognized,
nor is it words that will best protect the public and the clients
whom I was honored to serve. It is by action taken by the commission
and our new Police Chief to immediately affirm and strengthen the
entire Patrol Special police force, that will best bring about what
I stood for in their judgment, and that is, dedication by all
officers and representatives of this great City to the greater
public safety."
Officer John Candido, Patrol Special Police (Star #2621), retired
(4-28-10)

"I just want to
express my gratitude for
Patrol Special
Officer Antjuan Taswell being where he
was the night the shooting took place on June 26, 2010 at Castro and
Market during the SF Gay Pride celebration. My sister and I were
probably 10 feet away when were heard the gun shots. I looked to my
left and there was an African-American man lying face down on the
ground. We immediately ran blindly to a club called The Café into
Patrol Special
Officer Taswell. I blurted out to him that someone just got
shot and he shoved me and my sister behind him and ordered us to get
inside. We were in such a state of panic / shock that we needed to
hear some directive. I also felt safe as soon as he shoved us behind
him, as though he were a shield . . . I actually stayed behind him a
second or two longer after my sister ran up the stairs into the club
and he again ordered me a second time to get inside (hey, I was
shook up).I commend and appreciate
Patrol Special
Officer Taswell for his
protection and bravery. He responded immediately to our distress and
provided safety for all."
Respectfully, Cecelia Jones,
Security Dispatcher, CPMC Security Services Department (7-20-10) |

"Jane's
heart and soul were in that neighborhood. She was definitely part of
the fabric of that plaza. The patrol special was in charge of
patrolling that plaza." Steve Adams, President Merchants of Upper
Market and Castro as quoted in the Bay Area Reporter, regarding
Supervisors' Resolution to name new plaza "Jane Warner Plaza:,

"Jane provided an invaluable service to the
community. I think it is a great idea to name the plaza or something
else in her honor," Dominico Campodonico, president of the Castro
Community Benefits District board of directors, as quoted in the Bay
Area Reporter, 5-27-10 |

"If we want to remember Officer Jane
(after her passing on May 8,), let it be by increased public
pressure in her name, demanding affirmative promotion of her
Patrol Special Police
as the asset they truly are to their private clients, and to all San
Franciscans in neighborhoods where they serve." Ann Grogan, Letter
to the Editor, SF Weekly 5-26-10 |

"Officer Jane is the epitome
of community policing ... She was ever-present." Bevan Dufty,
Supervisor District 8, as quoted in SF Weekly 5-17-10 |

"I believe
that the most effective and appropriate way for San Francisco to
maintain law and order is for everyone to collaborate and cooperate
toward a common goal and purpose, that of safety and security for
everyone. I believe SFPD sets a fine example in most cases, and the
vast majority of the officers who make up the SFPD force are quality
and dedicated public servants who believe in what they are doing.
They cannot achieve their goals alone however, and the collaboration
and cooperation of the public and private sector in many forms is
required in order to do so. I firmly believe the Patrol Special
Police is one of many such entities that provide a vital and
important part of that collaboration and cooperation, as do the
people fo San Francisco, otherwise the Patrol Special Police would
not ceased to exist long ago." Ken Craig (6-1-10) President, Founder
& Grand Master Instructor of Triangle Martial Arts Association,
International (www.Trianglemaa.org)
; Vice Chair, Director of Training and Emergency Services Liaison of
Castro Community on Patrol (www.CastroPatrol.org) |

"Police work is dangerous whether you are a patrol special
or a police officer," said Hammer, who was once a reserve police
officer. "Jane and the other patrol specials add a whole other
sense of visibility or added security ... hands-on attention to
a neighborhood." Attorney James Hammer, newly appointed Police
Commissioner, quoted in the B.A.R. 12-31-09 "Patrol Special
officer injured in Christmas melee" by Heather Cassell.

"Jane had a tough year in 2009 and no one is more deserving
for good luck and good wishes [for the coming year]," said
