On behalf of LPNA President, Greg Peck:
On October 20, 2016, the San Jose Police Department presented its semi-annual Police Department Recruitment Activity Report to the City Council’s Public Safety, Finance, and Strategic Support Committee. In that memorandum, the Department committed to issue a memorandum related to post-November election recruiting efforts to the City Council.
On November 8, 2016, the voters of San Jose passed Measure F, San Jose’s Alternative Pension Reform Act. This offers an opportunity for a fresh start for the San Jose Police Departments recruiting efforts.

Recently, in newscasts and Internet reports, a new scam surfaced with either a recorded “robo-call” or a human attempting to get you to answer a question with “Yes”. The caller claims to represent a business entity you may or may not be familiar with, and proceeds to ask something simple, such as:
It can be a myriad of questions, that the unsuspecting public might engage out of good manners. That is the hook. Most people practice good manners, or social small talk responses figuring there is no harm. The problem is the scammers are recording your voice saying “Yes” and then use that as consent to sign you up for other services or products. Later, they demand payment and use the recorded answer to confirm the purchase.
I received one of these calls today, and I was lucky enough to have read about this scam weeks prior. I did not exercise good manners. I simply hung up. If you get a call where the lead off is a question seeking a “Yes” response, DO NOT answer! The FTC and law enforcement recommend simply hanging up. Avoid providing any responses that can be construed as consent, e.g. “Yes”, “OK”, “affirmative”, “sure”.
Given it is tax season, also be on the look out for scammers claiming to represent Social Security or the IRS, demanding payment of money or face jail time. Most government agencies conduct business by written US mail, and NOT by phone. Hang up on these types of calls, too.
Greetings neighbors!

A company called Chip Drop connects people with local tree companies who are willing to drop off whole truck loads of wood chip mulch for free. It’s a win win solution allowing tree companies to bypass hauling their trimmings to the waste/recycling centers for disposal and having to pay drop off fees, while you, the homeowner, do not have shell out big bucks for wood chips. Several non-profits in the area that require gardening employ these green techniques. Here is your chance to employ these similar techniques for yard projects around your home.
Help yourself.
Help local businesses.
Help the environment.
The attached RFP is 156 pages long. No need to read every page. See below.
The document shows a lot…
1. History of Santa Clara County Fairground, started in 1941.
2. Company proposals to operate (RFPs). Great ideas to revitalize the 150 acres.
If you scan the document you will see these things. No need to read every page.
It’s exciting that after many years the county may be able to revitalize the fairgrounds into a destination worth going to with many activities including new farmers market, several major sport complexes, San Jose Giants stadium, and much more.
