The usual slant has Harbor Police blended into the Sheriff\u2019s Office. The mayor\u2019s proposal is a quick fix on solving San Diego Police Department\u2019s staffing shortage. The Port of San Diego collects revenues from the port tenants for services provided. One of those services is the expectation that Harbor Police will respond to calls in a timely and professional manner. Should a \u201cmerger\u201d occur, the 140 officers from Harbor would likely be dispersed to other divisions in the city, removing the concentration from the area occupied by the tenants of the port. As with previous attempts, the port and the port tenants will not view this as an acceptable way forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0R.C.
