The number of sheriff’s deputies who guard public hospitals and clinics in San Francisco would be dramatically reduced under a plan proposed Tuesday by San Francisco health officials who want to hire more psychiatric nurses and non-sworn staff to respond to crises.
The Department of Public Health presented a plan to the Health Commission at its Tuesday meeting to drop the number of deputies from 29 to about 18 at San Francisco General and replace around seven more at Laguna Honda Hospital and four community clinics.
Twin Falls Sheriff Pulls Off April Fools Joke
April Fool s day and radio personalities tend to be a dangerous combination. Our superiors at KISS-FM gave us the mandatory better safe than sorry speech a few days ago and while that approach seems like no fun whatsoever, I ve seen plenty of people get fired for what they thought were great April Fools Jokes.
One of my favorites pranks was originated by a morning radio show when I was in high school. They unsuspectingly went on the air and said that the space shuttle had been diverted to a nearby military base and that it would be landing in the next hour. The freeway next to the base came to a grinding halt as spectators pulled over to get a glimpse of the space shuttle landing. Needless to say half the city was late to work and we missed our entire first class on that April fools day.
