  • Prioritizing Public Safety Supporting San Diego Families During The
    VOLUME 5, I SSUE 7/DECEMBER 2017 Prioritizing Public Safety For years, the City of San Diego has struggled to retain and recruit police officers. Now, we are taking the aggressive steps necessary to tackle this issue and pay our officers at a level that reflects the quality of the police department San Diegans deserve. As the San Diego Union-Tribune reports, pay for San Diego police officers will now rank above average in all pay categories for the first time in years. Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman said the news of the raises is already boosting the department with applicants and inquiries. Supporting San Diego Families During the Holiday Season In the spirit of giving back this holiday season, I’m partnering with Becky’s Gift to collect unwrapped toys for children ages 1-16 who are going through cancer treatment. Becky’s Gift was started eight years ago by two Scripps Ranch families and the community response has been inspiring. If you’d like to donate unwrapped toys, please contact my office at 619-236-6655 or email [email protected] to coordinate a drop-off before December 18. All items collected will be distributed among three cancer centers in San Diego through Becky’s Gift. Happy holidays! P AGE 2 Flu Season Trash vs. Recycle City of San Diego Resources In an effort to keep residential sewer pipes clear, please remember that fats, oils and grease go in the trash, not down the drain. Cooking grease coasts pipelines much like fatty foods clog human arteries. The grease build-up leads to blockage and potential sewer spills.
