Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

CHP Officer Earl Scott
This is in memory of California Highway Patrol Officer Earl Scott who was gunned down on State Route 99 near this morning a little before 5 AM. Below is a part of the oath and Code of Honor sworn to by Scott and all his fellow CHP officers:
"I, a member of the California Highway Patrol, subscribe in word and deed to the following ... Assist those in peril or distress, and, if necessary, lay down my life rather than swerve from the path of duty"
Officer Earl Scott, age 36, gave absolutely everything he had to the people of the State of California.
Thank you, Officer Scott.
The California Highway Patrol is the international symbol of law enforcement excellence not because they chose to be, but because of the quality of service given by their members to the people of the State of California.
