When you (Aramark) eliminates an 80+ year old department as part of your “fixing” things in the park, what goes around comes around.
Profit over safety was never our mantra.
What was our mantra?
Safety, Security, Service. In that order—for a reason.
Our Mission Statement was,
We, as members of the Security and Fire Department of Delaware North Companies at Yosemite, are committed to providing a safe environment for the diverse Yosemite community and park visitors.
Specifically, our duty is to provide an organized force of trained personnel to protect the community from unlawful acts, fire, and unsafe conditions. Without bias, we shall respond to acts and incidents, which disturb the peace, or place in jeopardy individuals, the environment, or property.
We are committed to a community safety philosophy that is dependent upon partnerships with park visitors, residents, government agencies, employees, and park
partners. We nurture public trust by holding ourselves to the highest standards of performance and ethics. This shall be accomplished, in the highest professional manner, by providing educational input to employees and visitors, impartially enforcing both the law and Company regulations, respecting the rights of individuals and the environment, while embracing superior customer service as our cornerstone.
You saved a million dollars a year eliminating us. Maybe you still think it was worth it.
