On the recordMay 10, 2023
Today, I rise to honor the career and service of retiring Anaheim Police Chief Jorge Cisneros. Chief Cisneros is a 33-year law enforcement veteran and has served as police chief for the past 13 years for various southern California cities. He started his career way back in 1990 at the Long Beach Police Department, where he worked his way up through the ranks to become a commander. At Long Beach, Chief Cisneros developed and administered a 15-week Spanish Community Academy for officers to enhance trust and partnership with the Latino community that then made up 40 percent of the residents of Long Beach. In 2018, Chief Cisneros was selected as Anaheim's police chief, leading 600 employees in that department. Chief Cisneros holds a master's degree in criminal justice from Chapman University in the city of Orange and has served as a member and current vice president of the Orange County Chiefs and Sheriffs Association. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to call Jorge a good friend and mentor. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring and celebrating the career of Chief Jorge Cisneros and congratulate him on his well-deserved retirement. ____________________
