Patrols to Be Boosted at Golden Gate Bridge
Ten more officers will soon patrol the Golden Gate Bridge.
The Golden Gate Bridge District Board of Directors unanimously approved the hires Friday, at a cost of $600,000 a year.
The 10 bridge patrol officers will join a force of 17 officers who handle security and toll-taking duties on the bridge.
“They’ll have a variety of security assignments,” said district spokeswoman Mary Currie. She said the officers would patrol the bridge on foot, by car, by scooter and by bicycle.
