The San Diego Police Officers Association (SDPOA) has endorsed Chris Ward for San Diego City Council District Three.
“With staffing numbers lower than they were 10 years ago, the San Diego Police Department continues to lose more than 13 officers a month. These losses are a public safety issue to our neighborhoods,” said Brian Marvel, president of the SDPOA. “We have the confidence that Chris Ward has the experience and understanding to address the issues facing our department and look forward to partnering with him to provide common sense solutions to our police staffing and infrastructure needs. He recognizes that a safe neighborhood is a vibrant neighborhood.”
Responding to the endorsement Ward said, ” I am grateful for the work of our police officers, and understand the serious obstacles the department faces. As the next Councilmember for District 3, I commit to prioritizing community policing to deter crime, improve response times, and provide the resources to keep trained officers from leaving us.”
