Would the city respond the same way if our views were shared by twelve <br /> Commanders and two Deputy Chiefs?We in Patrol are the personnel who respond and provide the <br /> 3 very best service possible to the citizens of this great city. My partners and I wear our badges and <br /> 4 Santa Ana Police patches with pride,and we will continue to police with integrity and compassion, <br /> regardless of the actions of any manager.With that being said,we deserve a Chief who will treat us <br /> 5 with dignity and respect, and City management who will ensure that managers who abuse their <br /> positional power are held accountable. <br /> 6 <br /> Please remove my name from any finiher emails in the future that spread rumors and falsities as <br /> though they are fact." <br /> 8 <br /> 9 88.
