"Pistor emphasized, "You get to be a fully trained firefighter, a fully trained police officer and on top of that you do EMT work, giving the community well-rounded service all the way.""
"Pistor noted, "We were able to figure out how to keep our fire services whole, where they could still respond and do their core mission, but we were able to pull those prior detectives into this big scene.""
Daniel Pistor became the new public safety chief in Sunnyvale on June 22, following the retirement of former chief Phan Ngo. The Department of Public Safety is distinct as all sworn officers undergo police, fire, and EMT training. Pistor, a 22-year veteran with various roles, values this integrated system for its ability to provide comprehensive service. He recounted how this model effectively managed a serious vehicle hate crime in 2019, allowing versatility in response by utilizing detectives from the fire department during incidents, demonstrating the effectiveness of the integrated public safety approach.
