Burton Brink is a retired Sergeant with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, a lifelong L.A. County Resident and has resided and worked in the 49th assembly district since 1967. He currently serves as a Commissioner for the City of Arcadia, is on the Board of Directors for Crime Survivors Inc. and is a community leader.
Burton has been protecting and serving our community for nearly 40 years. Burton knows how important it is to keep us safe in our homes, neighborhoods and businesses. Burton is concerned with the increase of Asian hate crime and targeting of Asian businesses and families by criminals. As a father of an Asian son, Burton has the motivation and experience necessary to address this issue.
Government’s first and most important duty is public safety. Violent crime is up over 74% across Los Angeles County and with the recent passage of Proposition 57, there will be an estimated 16,000 violent criminals being released into our communities. That’s why we need leaders who know what it takes to fight crime and keep our neighborhoods safe. As a Deputy Sheriff and Sergeant (now retired) with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, I’ve done just that, for the past 29 years.
