If you live, work, or play in San Francisco you might want to know something about the people who protect you.

They are individuals who have dedicated their lives to a career which allows them to serve in a law enforcement capacity while wearing the San Francisco Police Department star.

However, it’s also one of the most demanding of all professions since it’s the only job where you need to wear a gun to work.

And that’s because they may, on a moment’s notice, be called to handle a critical incident where they might have to make a decision between life or death.
