Pakistan Link Report
Members
of Pakistan Advisory Council with Sheriff Baca |
Sheriff of the County of Los
Angeles, Leroy D. Baca, invited the Sheriff’s Pakistan
Advisory Council to his headquarters for a meeting. Despite
his busy schedule he spent considerable time with the members
of the Council and had meaningful discussions with them.
Sheriff Baca is the most well-known sheriff in the country
and his support to the Pakistani-American community is unwavering.
He has lead a delegation of Sheriffs and security officials
from Alabama, New Jersey and California to Pakistan. On
that trip he visited many parts of Pakistan and held meetings
with President Musharaf and other high officials of the
Pakistani Government.
The Advisory Council serves an important role by promoting
and encouraging communications between the Sheriff's Office
and the members of the Pakistani-American community. In
this capacity the Advisory Council provides civilian review
of proposed and ongoing departmental programs. The Sheriff
relies on this as part of the input to adjust his efforts
in serving the County. It also serves as a conduit between
the department and citizens, bringing community concerns
to the Sheriff's attention and helping to work towards solutions.
As always, Sheriff Baca expressed great interest in receiving
input from the members of the Advisory Council. A lively
discussion ensued with interaction between Sheriff Baca
and the Advisory Council Members regarding various topics
of mutual interest.
Waqar Ali Khan, the Chairman of the Advisory Council stated
that one of the goals of the Council is to educate the members
and the community on the extensive range of services available
to County residents through the Sheriff's Office. He anticipates
that these services will be better utilized by the community
members as a result of the educational efforts of the Advisory
Council.
Members of the Advisory Council thanked Sheriff Baca for
his support of Pakistan and the Pakistani-American community.
In recognition of the dedication and efforts of the members
of the Advisory Council, Sheriff Baca presented certificate
awards to each member.
