Great to see you standing up for the Patrol Specials. This is a very long-running private sector response to the need for security and it is a shame that the city is strangling it.

I just attended (virtually) tonight’s meeting of the Haight-Ashbury Neighborhood Council (HANC), and they had Supervisor Peskin as a guest speaker. I took the opportunity to thank him for trying to bring back the Patrol Specials, and suggested as another reform not allowing people to make anonymous complaints to city government that could generate a harmful police response, citations, or other harmful consequences to those being snitched on.
I posted a link in their chat to the Oakland-based libertarian Independent Institute’s 2009 white paper on the Patrol Specials – https://www.independent.org/pdf/working_papers/74_privatepolicing.pdf https://www.independent.org/pdf/working_papers/74_privatepolicing.pdf.
And made a pitch in the chat for using some of the city government’s massive spending on homelessness to give tiny homes and tiny plots of land to homeless people, along with cutting the salaries of high-paid government officials! Along with posting this graphic, which probably wasn’t much appreciated by the left-leaning crowd, but still good info for any who might be on the verge of an ideological shift…
Love & Liberty,
