***For Immediate Release***

Sunnyside police officers, heavily engaged in a campaign against street gangs, have for the first time, endorsed a candidate for city council.

The Sunnyside Police Officers Guild is supporting Jason Raines, a former Army officer who now teaches school.

Police Guild President Robert Layman writes: “In a community that has had a large impact from criminal organizations and actions, Jason is intent on making this a place to raise a family and be safe while doing so.”

Raines has been a consistent advocate of the newly-created “Gang Unit” and the “Gang Elimination Strategy” mapped out by top police commanders.

The two-officer Gang Unit, working with the newly-hired Crime Analyst, have made numerous arrests in its first few weeks of operation. Many of these arrests of alleged gang members involved firearms and drugs.
