FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Roger Salazar SACRAMENTO – The National Latino Peace Officers Association (NLPOA) today joined every major law enforcement group in Sacramento County in endorsing Captain Jim Cooper for Sheriff.
“Your crime fighting accomplishments are numerous and your ability to reach out to the community is laudable. You have proven to be an effective leader and subscribe to the highest ethical standards,” Hank Aguilar, NLPOA-PAC California Chairperson, wrote in an endorsement letter to Cooper.
“The NLPOA is driven by a mission to serve and protect our communities and to encourage and inspire others, a commitment that is shared by you and your law enforcement experience. We are honored to endorse you and are confident in your ability to keep the residents of Sacramento County safe and protected,” the letter continued.
“I am humbled and honored to have the support of the National Latino Peace Officers Association,” said Cooper. “It is essential that all law enforcement groups work together to ensure public safety and as Sheriff I plan on doing just that with the members of the NLPOA.”
The NLPOA joins a long list of organizations and local elected officials to endorse Cooper including the Sacramento County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, Law Enforcement Managers’ Association, Sacramento Area Fire Fighters Local 522, Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, California Asian Peace Officers Association, and the Sacramento Central Labor Council AFL-CIO, to name a few.
Cooper is running for Sheriff of Sacramento County in the June 2010 election. He has served the people of Sacramento County in the Sheriff's Department for more than 25 years. Cooper spent nine of those 25 years undercover taking down gangs and drug dealers and has been honored with a Bronze Star for Bravery. Today, he serves as Commander of the Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crime’s Task Force investigating Internet crimes against children and identity theft.
Cooper also serves as a founding City Council member for the City of Elk Grove. As Elk Grove’s first Mayor, Cooper set the tone for how the city conducts business today, with transparency, accessibility, regional partnership and public engagement as the cornerstones for a successful government. ###
