Fired up and ready to go: <\/strong>I was proud to stand with public safety officials and community leaders recently to mark the 10th anniversary of the creation of the County Fire Authority.<\/p>\n Under the Authority, we have made huge strides in improving fire protection and EMS services across our backcountry. It looks like we’re facing a tough year for wildfire, but we’re as prepared as ever.<\/p>\n Make sure you are ready as well. Start by going to readysandiego.org.<\/p>\n CSI San Diego: <\/strong>The county recently held a ribbon-cutting for its new crime lab. The Kearny Mesa facility will provide forensic science services to over 30 law enforcement and criminal justice agencies in the region.<\/p>\n Public safety has been, and will continue to be, our No. 1 priority. And this lab will play a big role in keeping the peace.<\/p>\n I want to thank all our brave women and men in law enforcement. To Sheriff Gore, and his deputies and staff, thank you for all you do.<\/p>\n \u2014 Dianne Jacob is San Diego County Supervisor for District 2.
