Phoenix Has a New Police Chief!
On Monday, May 14, 2012, Daniel V. Garcia, former assistant chief of the Dallas Police Department, was sworn in as the new Phoenix Police Chief in a ceremony at City Hall.
PLEA Treasurer/Chief Negotiator Will Buividas represented PLEA at the ceremony.
Chief Garcia is a 33 year veteran of the Dallas, Texas Police Department and had been an assistant chief since 2004, managing their Communications, Detention Services, Property, and Legal Services Divisions.
He strongly believes in community based policing by keeping lines of communication open between the community and police officers. As our new Police Chief, one of his goals is to partner with all City departments to address crime and maintain a good quality life for Phoenix residents.
PLEA looks forward to working with Chief Garcia in solving problems and finding solutions to both the short and long term issues currently facing the Phoenix Police Department and the citizens we serve.
Sine Die Without Injury
By Levi Bolton Jr. Legislative Liaison
Wikipedia defines Sine Die as having been derived from the Latin “without delay” meaning in essence “without assigning a day for a further meeting or hearing.” Lawmakers and lobbyists simply say “we’re done.”
This has been the year of defense. Despite tremendous efforts to change life for Arizonans as to the very mechanics of government, certain heavily financed groups pushed legislation that if passed, would threaten the very existence of public sector associations and their hard fought wages and benefits. These groups saw their hurtful and faux taxpayer friendly bills defeated.
