Around Christmas 2003, Caesar, a police canine, was shot and killed in an unfortunate incident one night near his handlers home. This wonderful, talented dog was a big loss to the San Pablo Community. At the beginning of that following year, Paul Morris took it upon himself to raise the money from businesses and individuals in the West County community toward a new dog for the S.P.P.D. Typically, these fully trained canines cost $10 – 12,000 delivered and ready for street-training.
Before the summer arrived, Paul raised the money from the community, and gave a $10,000 check to The San Pablo Police Department, just in time to purchase a new dog and enroll him into the next phase of the canine training program. Nero, the newest police canine, has turned out to be as efficient and talented as his predecessor, Caesar. The P.D.’s other canine, Aire, retired out of the area shortly thereafter, leaving Nero as the only police dog.
The canine program has proved to be so successful, that the department is now looking to add three more canines to the police force.

 Our city has made great strides in the past few years. We are exceeding all goal expectations. San Pablo’s professional city staff and our pro-active police department are the best around, we attract great people. Your decisions in electing hard-working, far-sighted, strong leadership to the city council made the difference. I am seeking re-election to continue my contribution to the momentum we have established, and to accomplish much more in the coming years, with projects such as a new community center for use by everyone. Some of my personal accomplishments over the past 4 years include convincing the West Contra Costa Unified School District to build a new Walter T. Helms Middle School, instead of refurbishing the old one; keeping the district focused on what was promised to San Pablo from the bond measure funds, with the result that the remainder of the 6 district schools in our city will be refurbished like new; I serve on the Citizen’s Bond Oversight Committee that now oversees over a $1billion of these bond funds; I asked for and received longer library hours paid for by the city; I secured funding from the city for San Pablo baseball; raised $10,000 to pay for a new police canine and attracted the Monte Vista Senior Housing to San Pablo. Your vote for my re-election is a vote for the safety, security and comfort of ALL of San Pablo residents. I am especially committed to kids and seniors. If you have any questions, please call me at my home (510) 235-6612.
