(INLAND EMPIRE, CA) – San Bernardino County Undersheriff Beemer retires, immediately endorses LT Commander (s) Paul Chabot and co-hosts upcoming fundraiser event.
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of Undersheriff Beemer and I look forward to his guidance throughout this campaign and beyond.” Beemer is a outstanding American who protected us here at home, but also overseas during his combat service where he received a Purple Heart and Bronze Star. His participation in our Rancho Cucamonga fundraiser later this month will be a wonderful opportunity for area residents to meet a law enforcement legend and military hero,” said Chabot.
Richard Beemer had served as the Sheriff’s second-in-command since 2005 and been with the department since 1973. After 37 years he retired as the Undersheriff on January 29, 2010.
He has served four terms as the President of the Sheriff’s Employees’ Benefit Association and is a former trustee with the Peace Officers Research Association of California’s Legal Defense Fund.
Beemer is a Vietnam veteran having served in the Army as an infantry sergeant where he earned the Purple Heart and Bronze Star medals. During his diverse career in law enforcement, he served at various times as the Commander of the Fontana Sheriff’s Station, Professional Standards Division, Employee Resources Division and the Sheriff’s Bureau of Administration.
“Paul has earned my trust. He will protect our communities from the spread of gang violence committed by illegal immigrants and local gang members alike. He has my endorsement to be our next Assembly member,” said Beemer.
