Costa Mesa Police Chief Bryan Glass who has logged 26 years of service with the department, including 18 months at its helm announced Wednesday he will retire from his post in September.
In a release issued by the city, the chief remarked on the privilege of leading the Costa Mesa Police Department through the rigors of 2020, calling it “a year like no other” that saw not only a nationwide pandemic but a string of Black Lives Matter rallies that sometimes called for a defunding of police units.
The Moorlach for Supervisor campaign announced the endorsement of former Costa Mesa Police Chief Rob Sharpnack today. Sharpnack retired in 2019 after serving a 26 year career with the Costa Mesa Police Department.
“Now more than ever Costa Mesa needs leadership that is honest and supports officers against the defund the police movement. That is why I support John Moorlach for Orange County Supervisor.” Said Sharpnack.
After a long career in law enforcement protecting the public, Sharpnack is again protecting citizens by urging voters to elect John Moorlach. Understanding the complexity of county government, Moorlach knows what it takes to fully fund law enforcement with resources they need to protect the public while balancing budgets without raising taxes. His return to the Board of Supervisors will allow these policies to be enacted.
