Protecting and Preserving Poway's Safe Neighborhoods

By Jim Cunningham

Candidate for Council Member; City of Poway

This information is provided by the candidate
The Endorsements of Poway's Firefighter's and Sheriff's speaks volumes of Jim's Commitment to Public Safety
Public Safety:

Poway's entire Public Safety team, Poway Firefighters and Poway's Sheriffs from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department as well as , County, and State Law Enforcement Officers understand, and appreciate, Jim's Twenty Year Commitment to Public Safety. He has the unanimous endorsement of Poway's Firefighter's Association and has been endorsed by over 75,000 of our Local and State Law Enforcement Personnel including the San Diego Deputy Sheriff's' Association and the San Diego Police Officer's Association

"I am committed to keeping Poway as the city with the lowest crime rate in the County. Living in Poway we feel safe in our homes, schools, and at work. Poway's businesses profit from consumers coming to Poway to shop without concerns for their safety. My sons and daughters, and their friends, play in the parks and neighborhoods of Poway without constant fear of crime or violence. That, unfortunately, is not a reality in many communities throughout San Diego. Safe neighborhoods and communities are not drawn geographically. They come from an unrelenting and sustained commitment to public safety by our community leaders. With twenty years of working with public safety officers, both police and fire, and countless hours spent throughout the state working on public safety issues as the Executive Director of one of our nations largest Deputy Sheriffs' Associations, I can assure you that Poway's commitment to keeping it citizens and visitors safe will continue if I am elected to the Poway City Council. "

Fire Safety: " Poway is on the front line when it comes to the threats of wild fires and the devastation that follows. As the son and grandson of New York City firefighters and as an attorney representing firefighters for almost 20 years, I am 100% committed and aware of the dedication that we must have to keep our community safe from wildfires. The Poway Firefighters unanimously endorsed me because they know that I will bring to the City Council a lifetime of experience and knowledge that will be put to task to help avoid another devastating fire storm that ravished our community last year.
