Dr. Scholl’s emergency quick response group PERGE (Police Equipment Removal Group of Experts) arrived in San Jose Saturday, hoping to help alleviate tension stemming from the donation to Goodwill of dozens of officers’ work boots. A department administrator acknowledged arranging the donation after his order to store the boots inside officers’ lockers was not followed.
Meanwhile, a huge pile of donated boots, sneakers, loafers and pumps continues to grow outside the fence surrounding the police administration building on Mission Street. City Manager Deb “Deb” Figone was seen late Friday trying on a pair of leopard print Pelle Moda open toe platform pumps that were left leaning against the fence. A local bowling alley has also donated fifty pairs of used red and tan bowling shoes and shoe spray, and the Imelda Marcos World Shoe Fund is reportedly collecting footwear donations for San Jose officers.
