Today, the Peace Officers Research Association of California representing 66,000

San Diego safe.
Toni Atkins has been a fierce advocate for public safety since her days on the City
Council and has continued the fight as Speaker of the State Assembly. Her leadership
has provided our officers with the resources they need to combat crime and protect San

communities first will make her a tremendous State Senator.
I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Peace Officers Research Association of
California. Police officers risk their lives every day to protect our communities and I
am proud to have the support of the officers that do so much to keep our families safe,
Atkins said.
