ACKNOWLEDGMENTS <br />Beyond any question, this White Paper is the product of a major cooperative effort among <br />representatives of numerous law enforcement agencies and allies who share in common the goal of <br />bringing to light the criminal nexus and attendant societal problems posed by marijuana dispensaries <br />that until now have been too often hidden in the shadows. The critical need for this project was first <br />recognized by the California Police Chiefs Association, which put its implementation in the very <br />capable hands of CPCA's Executive Director Leslie McGill, City of Modesto Chief of Police Roy <br />Wasden, and City of El Cerrito Chief of Police Scott Kirkland to spearhead. More than 30 people <br />contributed to this project as members of CPCA's Medical Marijuana Dispensary Crime /Impact <br />Issues Task Force, which has been enjoying the hospitality of Sheriff John McGinnis at regular <br />meetings held at the Sacramento County Sheriffs Department's Headquarters Office over the past <br />three years about every three months. The ideas for the White Paper's components came from this <br />group, and the text is the collaborative effort of numerous persons both on and off the task force. <br />Special mention goes to Riverside County District Attorney Rod Pacheco and Riverside County <br />Deputy District Attorney Jacqueline Jackson, who allowed their Office's fine White Paper on <br />Medical Marijuana: History and Current Complications to be utilized as a partial guide, and granted <br />permission to include material from that document. Also, Attorneys Martin Mayer and Richard <br />Jones of the law firm of Jones & Mayer are thanked for preparing the pending legal questions and <br />answers on relevant legal issues that appear at the end of this White Paper. And, I thank recently <br />retired San Bernardino County Sheriff Gary Penrod for initially assigning me to contribute to this <br />important work. <br />Identifying and thanking everyone who contributed in some way to this project would be well nigh <br />impossible, since the cast of characters changed somewhat over the years, and some unknown <br />individuals also helped meaningfully behind the scenes. Ultimately, developing a White Paper on <br />Marijuana Dispensaries became a rite of passage for its creators as much as a writing project. At <br />times this daunting, and sometimes unwieldy, multi -year project had many task force members, <br />including the White Paper's editor, wondering if a polished final product would ever really reach <br />fruition. But at last it has! If any reader is enlightened and spurred to action to any degree by the <br />White Paper's important and timely subject matter, all of the work that went into this collaborative <br />project will have been well worth the effort and time expended by the many individuals who worked <br />harmoniously to make it possible. <br />Some of the other persons and agencies who contributed in a meaningful way to this group venture <br />over the past three years, and deserve acknowledgment for their helpful input and support, are: <br />George Anderson, California Department of Justice <br />Jacob Appelsmith, Office of the California Attorney General <br />John Avila, California Narcotics Officers Association <br />Phebe Chu, Office of San Bernardino County Counsel <br />Scott Collins, Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office <br />Cathy Coyne, California State Sheriffs' Association <br />Lorrac Craig, Trinity County Sheriffs Department <br />Jim Denney, California State Sheriffs' Association <br />Thomas Dewey, California State University— Humboldt Police Department <br />Dana Filkowski, Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office <br />John Gaines, California Department of Justice/Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement <br />Craig Gundlach, Modesto Police Department <br />John Harlan, Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office —Major Narcotics Division <br />© 2009 California Police Chiefs Assn.
