County's top law enforcer cites Krekorian's commitment to public safety
VALLEY GLEN-Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca endorsed Paul
Krekorian's candidacy for the Second District of Los Angeles City
Council this week, praising the lawmaker's demonstrated commitment
to improving public safety.
"As Sheriff my top priority is working to reduce crime and to make our
neighborhoods safer," Sheriff Baca said. "That is why I am endorsing
Paul Krekorian; the best choice for City Council. He has a record of
supporting public safety and, as the councilman of the Second District,
he will work hard to make Los Angeles safer."
As a San Fernando Valley state representative, Krekorian worked with
local law enforcement officials and residents in North Hollywood
to rid the neighborhood of dangerous criminals and, via, AB 1038,
made neighborhoods safer by authorizing local officials to evict gang
members and others who use their homes to store or sell illegal weapons
and ammunition. Krekorian also carried legislation that called for
tougher penalties for speeders and greater control for neighborhoods
to set their own speed limits.
"As a state lawmaker, public safety has been one of my top priorities,
an area of focus I will bring with me as we seek to lessen the
influence of gangs i n our neighborhoods, erase graffiti from
our walls, and make sure our schools are havens of safety for our
children. I look forward to working in close partnership with Sheriff
Baca to make our city safer," he added.
"Sheriff Baca has always been a visionary leader for law enforcement
and it is a great honor to welcome him into this campaign to fight
for a safer Los Angeles," said Krekorian, a San Fernando Valley
state representative.
