Dear Oxnard voters and friends,

On behalf of the Simi Valley Police Officers’ Association and our board of directors, it is our honor to endorse John Barrick for Oxnard City Council. Our officers have proudly supported John in the past and we’re excited to stand with him again because he has consistently demonstrated a serious commitment to public safety, accountability, and service to the people of Ventura County.

John was raised in Oxnard, attended Oxnard schools, and has spent his career serving Ventura County. Since 2005, he has worked as a prosecutor, bringing extensive courtroom experience and a deep understanding of the responsibilities that come with protecting the public and standing up for victims.

We believe that John’s record reflects the kind of judgment, integrity, and professionalism that matter in public office. He understands that safe neighborhoods, strong communities, and public trust require elected leaders who are willing to listen, lead responsibly, and keep public safety at the center of local decision-making.

Support for John Barrick is not limited to one jurisdiction or one campaign. Those of us in law enforcement who have followed his career know his record, know his commitment to victims and public safety, and know the kind of seriousness he would bring to public office. That is why the Simi Valley Police Officers Association is proud to help demonstrate the broad respect John has earned among law enforcement professionals across Ventura County.

John’s campaign for Oxnard City Council is rooted in the same values that have defined his career: public service, accountability, transparency, and a commitment to doing what is right for the community he has always called home.

The Simi Valley Police Officers Association is proud to endorse John Barrick for Oxnard City Council, and we respectfully encourage Oxnard voters to support his campaign.

Today, we gathered in front of the Simi Valley Police Department for a solemn memorial ceremony to honor the memory of Officer Michael F. Clark.

Thirty-one years ago, on August 4, 1995, Officer Clark was tragically shot and killed while responding to a welfare check on a suicidal subject on Aztec Court. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Officer Clark had served with the Simi Valley Police Department for four months and brought with him over five years of experience from the Los Angeles Police Department.

The subject involved was wounded by officers at the scene, taken into custody, and later convicted of second-degree murder. Sentenced to life in prison, he was most recently denied parole in 2021.

Officer Clark was only 28 years old. His loss is felt deeply by his wife, Jennifer, his son, Bayley—who was just five months old at the time—his parents, and his entire law enforcement family.

We stand here today to ensure his sacrifice is never forgotten and to honor the dedicated service he gave to our country and our community. 💙🚔🇺🇸

Every day, our officers put themselves in harm’s way to protect our community and provide public safety. Yesterday was no exception.

We are grateful that none of our officers were seriously injured or killed; and we appreciate the outpouring of support from our community, local leaders, and friends.

Our thoughts remain with everyone affected by this critical incident, and we extend our condolences to those who knew the subject outside of the events Tuesday.

The investigation is ongoing, and the SVPOA remains fully committed to a complete, open, and transparent review of our officers' actions by the appropriate authorities.

The Simi Valley Police Officers’ Association is proud to announce our endorsements for Simi Valley City Council.

Dee Dee Cavanaugh for Mayor
Joseph Ayala for District 1
Richard Perini for District 2
Deb Dickerson for District 4

Everyday Simi Valley Police Officers’ work hard to deliver excellent service and public safety. We strive to be good stewards of public resources, and our members are proud to give back in our time off to the community we serve.

But our success relies on elected officials and community partners who understand the mission of public safety and who support common sense programs and policies. In selecting candidates we reviewed their record, assessed a thorough candidate questionnaire, and completed an in person board interview.

With many races having more than one candidates locally we accept that our endorsements may not all align with your personal politics, views, or opinion. We respect every voter and the democratic process of our elections.

We believe that there are many challenges facing our city in the years ahead and we need elected leaders and local partners who are ready to tackle the tough issues, keeping public safety a top priority, and ensuring that Simi Valley has the resources it needs to deliver the excellent service our community expects and deserves.

For the officers of Simi Valley, public safety is not just a campaign issue, it’s our daily responsibility and our privileged calling. We proudly support these candidates who recognize the value of our officers, the necessity of a resilient response, and the relationship between responsible government and accountable servant leadership.

The Simi Valley Police Officers’ Association is proud to support these campaigns and stand with candidates who understand our mission and shares our vision for a safer Simi Valley.

We’re pleased to see the Simi Valley City Council’s proactive approach to engaging in an open conversation about school safety. They are proposing a working group made up of the Simi Valley City Council, Simi Valley Unified School District, City staff, and the Simi Valley Police Department.

The purpose of this working group is to review the services the City currently provides to the School District at no charge, including the Crossing Guard and School Resource Officer (SRO) programs. These are important school safety roles. The group will evaluate service needs and operational considerations, and explore potential cost-sharing opportunities related to maintaining these services at our local schools.

We are hopeful this conversation leads to the number one priority: enhancing safety in and around our schools. We are also hopeful that SVUSD will actively engage and provide funding to further strengthen school safety.

We want to commend our dedicated members working in specialized assignments to keep our streets safe. A special shoutout to the SVPD PROS Officer, made possible through a joint funding effort by the Ventura County Probation Agency and the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), a team of skilled detectives focused on narcotics related investigations and other crimes against society.

On May 29, 2026, at 1:00 PM, the Ventura County Probation Department, alongside the Simi Valley Police Department’s PROS Officer, contacted Jason Klausmeyer for a probation appointment. Klausmeyer was dropped off by his girlfriend, April Baird, in his vehicle.

During a search of Klausmeyer’s vehicle, two kilograms of Ketamine and over $8,000 in U.S. currency were discovered. The SVPD Special Investigations Unit responded and obtained search warrants for Klausmeyer’s residence and storage units in San Clemente, CA.

Following the warrant service, an impressive 115+ pounds of controlled substances were seized, including:
- 85,000 counterfeit Adderall pills (Methamphetamine)
- 25,000 M**A pills
- 30 pounds of Ketamine
- 1 pound of Fentanyl
- 7 pounds of Co***ne
- 10 pounds of Psilocybin

The street value of these seized drugs is approximately $2.1 million. Both Klausmeyer and Baird were arrested and booked on drug trafficking charges.

Thank you to all our officers for your hard work and commitment to community safety!
