I am writing to address a recent statement made of the San Bernardino Police Officers Association that was reported in your publication.
It has come to my attention that certain claims made of the Association may contain inaccuracies that could mislead the public and affect community trust in law enforcement. These statements have significant implications, and it is essential that the information being disseminated is both accurate and fair. The San Bernardino Police Officers Association has endorsed Rochelle Clayton to become our next City Manager with no promises of a better contract from her office. We have endorsed Rochelle Clayton due to her work ethic and her vision to make our city better. Rochelle Clayton has lived in our city for several years in the past and knows the city better than our previous city managers.
I urge you to consider the implications of these statements and the importance of ensuring that all claims are thoroughly fact-checked before publication. Transparency and accountability are vital in maintaining the integrity of both the Police Officer Association and the media.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I believe it is crucial for our community to have access to reliable information that reflects the truth of the situation.
Jose Loera
President
San Bernardino Police Officer Association
