Hey there! Thanks for visiting the SSJ Chapter page of PORAC. I’m Mike Cruz, the newly appointed Chapter President, and I’m here to support and represent my fellow law enforcement officers in the counties of Kern, Tulare, and Inyo. With over a decade of experience in law enforcement, I’ve seen significant changes, both positive and negative. I’m excited to lead the transformation as the old guard gives way to the new. While I respect many long-standing traditions, I also see an opportunity to bring different generations together for efficiency, cooperation, and engagement. I’m looking forward to revitalizing the SSJ Chapter and encouraging all members to come together to tackle the challenge. Feel free to get in touch with me – I value all viewpoints. Everyone has something valuable to contribute, and I hope to see you at one of our Chapter meetings soon. I know the realities of staffing and mandatory overtime make it difficult for many of our members to join, but I encourage even just jumping on the meeting Zoom call to get involved. Thanks for your time,
