By Ray Shine, Editor

eeking to publicly acknowledge the hard work and dedica- tion of uniformed police officers, Deputy Chief Rick Bruce S implemented the San Francisco Police Department's Patrol Officer of the Month, a program that recognizes individuals who personify the ad- mirable qualities common in all San Francisco street cops. Commander Greg Suhr is continuing this important tribute to San Francisco's officers assigned to Field Operations. Each month, Commander Suhr will ask a district captain to nominate one of their uniformed officers for this special recognition. The selection It of a single officer, or team of officers, for this honor will prove to be an unenviable task. It will, after all, be very difficult to single out one or two officers from among so many, all of whom are as focused on their duty; every one as unassuming as the next; all as worthy and deserving. The San Francisco Police Officers' Association applauds Commander Suhr and the Administration for recognizing the uniformed patrol officers who comprise "the backbone of the Department." The Association also congratulates Officer Paula Overend of Southern Station for being chosen as the February, 2002 Patrol Officers of the Month. As with all such honorees, the selection of the Paula serves to exemplify the strength of character, compassion, and commitment to community that is embodied in all of the men and women of the SFPD.
