IS A PATROL SPECIAL OFFICER EMPLOYED BY THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO?
No. These officers are private contractors who are not hired by the City and County of San Francisco. No public taxpayer funds are used to pay their salaries. They are paid by private businesses or persons who hire them for contractual security services. WHY DOES A PATROL SPECIAL’S UNIFORM LOOK SO SIMILAR TO A REAL POLICE OFFICER? A Patrol Special Officer’s uniform is not the same as a San Francisco Police Officer’s uniform. The Patrol Special Officers are required to wear light blue shirts with navy blue pants. The pants must have a light blue ΒΌ stripe along the outer most pant leg seam. Patrol Special Officers are NOT allowed to wear dark navy blue shirts. This uniform is purchased privately by the Patrol Special Officer and is not paid for by any public funds. Patrol Special Officers are required to wear a silver-toned 6-point star with the words San Francisco Patrol Special Police stamped on the facing. No other style or shaped badge is authorized. All San Francisco Police Officers
