In San Mateo's Parkside neighborhood, a familiar place offers a respite for weary police officers.
"This is the home away from home for our police officers," said Sgt. Michael Haobsh with the San Mateo Police Department.
The barracks replace the old option of sleeping at police headquarters during short turnarounds on shifts that can last up to 17 hours.Calling it the 'San Mateo way,' mayor launches flood relief GoFundMe asking residents to help their neighbors "We need a place to refresh in between our shifts. And so having these barracks here helps with that tremendously," said Haobsh.
Alba said he wouldn't be able to do the 160-mile roundtrip commute and work as an officer in San Mateo, without the barracks. "I don’t think I could be able to remain in San Mateo," he said. Without this, it would be quite a strain and I’d have to sit down and rethink my personal life."Command staff says the officers police themselves, and there haven't been any problems.
