Two of the original four VCDs have been replaced by several new platforms, and as of early 2009, there are five VCDs that represent the majority of the closure devices sold, along with a wide variety of topical patches. During this period, vascular closure device (VCD) technologies have matured to the point that we are seeing mostly evolutionary changes, with at least one exception, upon which I will expand this year. I, for one, appreciate all of these amazing law enforcement officers, and feel they deserve proper support and leadership.įor these reasons, I will be voting for Commander Jim Fryhoff for Sheriff.This is the seventh year that I have had the privilege of writing the annual review of vascular closure for Endovascular Today. I hope they are doing the right thing, but they very often do not.” Perhaps it’s statements like this that have forced deputies to seek out new leadership. In a recent public forum, Bill Ayub spoke negatively about sheriff’s deputies, stating, “I’ve probably got 130 deputies out in the field, and I have no idea what any of them are doing.
It is concerning to me when any organizational leader doesn’t support his or her employees. It’s very telling to me that virtually all Ventura County law enforcement associations have endorsed and supported Commander Jim Fryhoff for Sheriff. The implication that “union bosses” don’t represent the opinions and desires of their membership is insulting. As an association president, I embraced the responsibility of collaborating with administrators to represent all members of the association. I’m proud of the work I did to represent my fellow teachers. I am a retired teacher and former president of the La Habra Education Association. I’m also troubled by Bill Ayub’s flippant dismissal of police officer endorsements as being coordinated by “union bosses.” I have concerns about Bill Ayub’s ability to lead the Sheriff’s Office, and the apparent lack of support he has from the rank-and-file deputies and police officers of local law enforcement agencies.
