Pacheco was honored for the significant contributions he has made to public safety as a member of the California State Assembly. Peace officers, unlike other professionals, put their lives on the line everyday they go to work. I am extremely honored to receive this award from them.
Public safety is one of the most essential functions of government.
We in the Legislature must work diligently to protect those who put their lives on the line to protect our communities, give them the necessary tools to enforce the law, and ensure that should tragedy occur we will do all we can to lessen the hardships faced by their families.
