📣 San Bruno Residents: Your Voice Is Needed on March 24
On March 18, a large group of San Bruno residents met with the Police Officers Association.
What we heard at that meeting was very different from the narrative
presented by the City Manager. Claims that the Police Union refused to
negotiate fairly were simply not true. The POA laid out facts that
directly contradict the statements coming from City Hall.
The City Manager has now shifted to a smear campaign against our
officers—something that serves no purpose and raises serious questions.
What is the endgame here? Why undermine the very people who keep our
community safe?
San Bruno residents, this is the moment to stand together. It is time
to remind our elected City Council that their responsibility is to
us—not consultants, not outside advisors, and certainly not
misinformation. Our police department has already lost dedicated
officers due to bad faith bargaining. If this continues, we risk losing
even more.
And the consequences are real:
• Dispatch and night patrols could be handed over to the Sheriff’s Department
• Non emergency calls may go unanswered
• Burglary responses could be reduced to online forms for insurance purposes
• School Resource Officers may be eliminated
• Homeless outreach and response could disappear
• And more cuts may follow
San Bruno deserves better than a hollowed out public safety staff. We
deserve a fully staffed, fully supported police department that knows
our community and serves it with pride.
That’s why your presence matters.
