Michael,

This is an interesting question and interesting search. Is your colleague heading to the Esri UC in San Diego later this month? That would be a good start to find San Diego-based GIS users in Public Safety. Other than heading to user group meetings (especially local ones in those cities/areas), I feel that it would be hard to find these specific groups of people. The GeoNet is a good place to ask though.

Maybe you could find local contacts to local GIS user groups in San Diego, NYC, and Baltimore and reach out from there. I only presume cities as big as these would have 'local' user groups.

There are very few user group communities on the GeoNet. Tagging: San Diego County Regional GIS Users Group​ and DC GIS

This looks to be a website of an NYC GIS group:

GISMO….a GIS hotspot – a GIS hotspot

Here is potentially another one: http://www.meetup.com/geonyc/

This might be your best bet for San Diego:

San Diego Regional GIS Council

And for Baltimore, this should work:

Baltimore Region GIS Committee - Baltimore Metropolitan Council
