FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS CONTACT: March 31, 2010 SACRAMENTO – The Elk Grove Police Officers Association (EGPOA) today announced its endorsement of Captain Jim Cooper for Sacramento County Sheriff, citing Cooper’s “political savvy, combined with his forward-thinking approach to law enforcement.” “Mr. Cooper was one of the founding members of the City Council and has worked tirelessly to ensure the citizens of Elk Grove receive the highest level of representation as an elected official,” Dan Koontz, EGPOA President, wrote in an endorsement letter. “Our Association believes that Councilman Cooper’s successful local government work and dedication can easily be extrapolated to how he would ultimately successfully serve as Sheriff of Sacramento County.” The EGPOA joins a growing list of public safety groups supporting Cooper, including: the Sacramento Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, the Law Enforcement Managers Association, the Sacramento Police Officers Association, the Sacramento Area Fire Fighters Local 522, the Sacramento County Probation Association, and the California Asian Peace Officers PAC. “I am proud to have the endorsement of the Elk Grove Police Officers Association,” said Cooper. “I have worked closely with the Association for many years and look forward to continuing that work to protect the residents of Elk Grove as Sacramento County Sheriff.” Cooper is running for Sheriff of Sacramento County in the June 2010 election. He has served the people of Sacramento County in the Sheriff's Department for more than 25 years and has been honored with a Bronze Star for Bravery. Today, he serves as Commander of the Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crime’s Task Force investigating Internet crimes against children and identity theft. Cooper also serves as a founding City Council member for the City of Elk Grove. Due to the Council’s sound fiscal planning, Elk Grove has one of the largest surpluses in the region with $13 million in reserve. As Elk Grove’s first Mayor, Cooper set the tone for how the city conducts business today, with transparency, accessibility, regional partnership and public engagement as the cornerstones for a successful government. ###
