10 | The InformantSince inception, the BPOA has placed engagement and
giving back to the community at the forefront. Prior to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the BPOA hosted fundraising
events such as the Black Pioneers in Policing Gala in order
to, “honor some of the past police officers, both men
and women, that were instrumental in paving the way for
minority police officers,” Harold explains. Aside from
their own hosted events, they typically will also attend
the events that are held by their fellow organizations such
as those listed above. “We also collaborate with private
sector scholarship groups like the Lamplighters, where
we provide scholarships for high school students within
the Southeastern Division Community.”
As one can imagine, in a time of civil unrest, it can be
difficult to police as a person of color to a person that
may be distrustful of law enforcement. This is why the
BPOA members actively work to have open and honest
conversations. Open dialog has shown to be successful
in building the bridge between law enforcement and the
community members. The BPOA also makes regular
visits to various high schools so as to talk to the students
about where they are coming from and how they can
build a stronger, more trusting relationship with them.
One major movement that was important to the BPOA
to complete was the renaming of the SDPD Southeastern
Division Substation to The Archie Buggs Memorial
Building in honor of Fallen Officer Archie Buggs, who
was killed in the line of duty on November 4, 1978.
In the end, the BPOA works diligently to create
connections amongst all of their members and the
communities in which they serve – no matter the
challenges they may face. “We work on what we need
to in order to best serve the community,” states Harold,
“and we look forward to continuing on doing great
things.”

SHIFT
Every shift change, the SDPOA organizes an awards breakfast to
recognize exemplary officers of the San Diego Police Department. A
member from each division is selected to be awarded the honor of
Officer of the Shift. The recipients were given a personalized plaque
and a day off discretionary leave during the shift’s breakfast ceremony.
Perhaps the best part of the award is the recognition from their
peers and supervisors for their outstanding service, dedication, and
professionalism. The SDPOA is honored to continue to organize the
Officer of the Shift awards ceremony and we are thankful for the work of
each one of our award winners. Congratulations recipients!

WIDOWS AND ORPHANS By Jim Mackay, SDPOA Director
T he SDPOA Widows and Orphans Charity fund is the main fundraising source
for our members to receive assistance when an Officer is killed or gravely injured.
As everyone knows, we lost one of our own tragically recently. If you did not
know, the POA Foundation was put into action immediately when David died. The
POA Foundation used portions of the fund to have family members brought in from
outside of San Diego to be with his family during this tragic time. The POA Foundation
provides monies, hotels, rental cars, meals, pay bills and whatever a family needs during
a crisis. All these expenses are taken care of by the POA Foundation’s Widows and
Orphans fund. The fund is also available for members who suffer the loss of a spouse
or child.
The Widows and Orphans fund also assists members who are gravely injured in the
line of duty. The fund will step in until benefits from the City kick in. The POA raises
money each year through fundraisers, sponsorships, and private donations to ensure that
the Widows & Orphans Fund is available to support all our members and their families
in their greatest time of need.
One of the ways the POA raises money is by direct donation from POA members. It is
a direct deposit from their paycheck into the POA Widows and Orphans fund to be used
solely for the benefits listed above.
Currently, only 435 of our 1,937 members use this simple and easy way to donate. If
you look at your paycheck and do not see a line item named “Charity” contact the POA
and have a payroll deduction done right from your paycheck. A small donation of $1.00
to $5.00 will go a long way to help each other in times of tragedy. If we could get all
1900 members to donate $1.00 a paycheck that would bring in approximately $50,000.00
a year to help ourselves when our families need any assistance in hard times.

In March 2020, at the brink of impact from the
COVID-19 pandemic, Laura found herself at
Western Division. “At Western, we do not have the
same types of crimes as the other divisions I have
worked at, but it is just as busy,” says Laura.
Reflecting on her 27 years with SDPD, Laura notes
that besides the pandemic causing change, much
positive change has taken place over the years. “I
think a lot of things have changed. For females, [the
environment] is much better…I don’t recall seeing
a lot of females in the Captains and Chiefs ranks
in the past…but that is definitely one thing I like
to work on – motivating women on the department
to move into more leadership positions. That said, I
like to see everyone move up and hope to motivate
as many of our officers as possible to keep working
hard.” Personally, Laura credits her older sister,
who was a female Black Hawk Pilot in the Army,
for not only being a strong leader herself, but for
mentoring Laura in becoming a strong leader as well.
Additionally, Laura notes her mother and younger
sister are also such strong women in life that she
hopes to be that strong woman for other females.
Outside of work, Laura thrives on spending time
with her parents, siblings, and friends. Some of
these friends include her fur babies, as Laura enjoys
rescuing English Bulldogs. Traveling is also on
the forefront. Laura makes time for two sports in
particular: baseball and football. In years past, her
and her father and sister have traveled to the US
Bank Stadium – home of the Minnesota Vikings.
Laura plans on continuing to proudly protect
and serve, while upholding the female leadership
throughout the Department of course. She views a
positive future and hopes to keep gravitating toward
a strong female influence in a male-dominated
profession.
