Jerry Dyer, MS, Fresno Chief of Police and President of the California Police Chief’s Association. Apr. 16, 2008 letter to Deputy Director of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police: “Based on the almost 12 years of medical marijuana experience in the state of California it is our observation that it has been destructive to lives and communities.
