WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
The Fullerton Infomer website documents a long train of
abuses, corruption, lies, dereliction of duty and just outright bad stuff going on within our City Government. If you have the time, we have the information. Just browse all the articles on this site and videos on my You Tube Channel and one of two things will take place. You will either wake up vote for me or you will go back to sleep and you will get more of the same. The choice is really up to you.
The entire establishment is locking arms to keep me from holding office and for good reason. The entire Fullerton Establishment on both the left and the right is corrupt to the core. They have driven Fullerton right into the ground. It is just where we are folks. Drastic action is needed immediately and I am the only candidate with a proven plan, that will not back down, who is not for sale and I cannot be bought.
I call for a moratorium on all new major development in Fullerton. This moratorium will remain in place until the roads in Fullerton are repaired and improved, and also until water rationing is lifted.
Currently, most of Fullerton’s roads are in a terrible state of disrepair, and they cannot handle the existing high traffic loads. Fullerton’s roads are clearly worse than the roads in other surrounding cities, and traffic jams during rush hour times seriously clog many streets, especially in the downtown and College areas. In addition, Fullerton doesn’t have enough water supply to serve its current population; residents are forced to not water their yards on most days of the week. When Fullerton’s water supply problem is solved, at that time new major development projects can be considered, but until then, any new major development project that adds dozens or hundreds of more people to Fullerton’s current population will only extend and make worse our water rationing system.
I am proposing that the Fullerton Voters retain the right to give final approval to any new major development project that results in the building of 10 units or more per acre or the construction of a building 3 stories high or higher. This moratorium would still allow a person to renovate his or her house or build a granny unit in their backyard, but the “new major development” projects my moratorium would not allow would be similar to the type of projects Yorba Linda has its residents give final approval to. The DCCSP and College Town, for example, would definitely not be allowed. This should be informative to many of you who probably are unaware that Yorba Linda already has a smart growth ordinance in place–one that was approved in an initiative–Measure B.
Precedent in Fullerton goes back the 1973 9-month building moratorium for the East Coyote Hills. This moratorium was approved by a 3-2 vote of the City Council. One of my colleagues was the one instrumental in getting the Mayor (Bob Ward) to introduce it.
Ladies and gentlemen, the time is now to get behind Joe Imbriano who will lead the charge to get out in front of the issues just like I have successfully been doing as a private citizen activist for years In Fullerton and other California communities. Together, we can protect Fullerton for generations to come.

It’s about time….with all the newly hired officers leaving in mass and the more seasoned officers running for employment at neighboring police departments…the wreckage caused by the Danny Hughes leadership era is at last coming to an end. Apparently Disney does not conduct pre-employment background checks or Dan Hughes is just the perfect size for the duck suit. But don’t worry, Dan Hughes is not going away that quickly. His 2-week notice letter states he will be retained by the City Manager as a Fullerton reserve police officer. Why would a new Chief allow the old dysfunctional leader to hang around and continue to spread his poison? Why would his new employer allow him to continue working at the Fullerton police department…Now drawing 3 pay checks.. one pension from PERS one from the City of Fullerton and one from Disney?
Hi all-
It is with mixed emotions that I share with you that after 33 years of service at the police department, I will be retiring effective November 11th. I have informed the city manager and he will be choosing an external interim chief until a wider search and testing process can be completed. I will become a reserve officer in order to complete a few projects I have committed to. I have accepted a position as the Vice President of Security and Emergency Services at the Disneyland Resort and am excited about this new journey in my life.
There are no words I could use to adequately express how grateful and honored I am of serving as your police chief for the past five years. We have endured many challenges during this time but I believe those challenges made us better and I truly believe the best days for our department are still to come. The future of our department is exciting because there are such strong managers and supervisors prepared to lead our department. I could not be more impressed with our sworn and professional personnel that are committed to excellence and are loyal to serving our community with the highest level of integrity, character, and compassion.
You should be very proud of what we have been able to accomplish these past five years. We developed a strategic plan of embracing community policing methods and improving and developing strong trusting relationships within our community. We began utilizing a more academic approach to analyzing crime trends and partnering with our community to decrease crime and increase community relations. We created the Directed Enforcement Team to address quality of life issues and to provide more opportunities for investigative development for our personnel. We created the county’s first full time Homeless Liaison Officer Program and partnered with Coast to Coast, O.C. Mental Health, CSP, and other non-profit organizations to deal with this tragic social problem that local law enforcement has been asked to resolve. We have enhanced our presence and relationship with the schools as we partnered with Team Kids and GRIP to demonstrate a sense of caring for the future generation of our community. We have enhanced our relationship with the community we serve by improving how we communicate with one another. We increased department tours, held open houses, increased citizen academies, created a Chief’s community advisory committee, increased our presence at community events, partnered with O.C. United with the Love Fullerton events, initiated Annual Reports and Employee Recognition Ceremonies, created a social media team, initiated the departments first Legacy Album project which is projected to be completed in the next few months, and helped launch Behind the Badge OC so we could profile the many wonderful programs and people we have at our department and share information with our community that most news organizations are not interested in covering.
There were also many visible changes made within our department. The Traffic Bureau, Records Bureau, and the CSI offices all received significant renovations. We created the Wall of Honor and Wall of Service to memorialize those that have served honorably before us and to challenge each of us to emulate their actions. We transitioned our patrol cars to Ford Explorers and changed the police logo and added a blue lives matter flag on each vehicle. We memorialized five of our police vehicles by placing the names of the five officers whose deaths are attributed to them being a police officer. We provided every officer a Taser and soon each officer will be equipped with a tourniquet kit and Naloxone (Narcan). We were the first department in Orange County to deploy every officer with a Body Camera. We redesigned our web page, approved a new policy manual, created the Peer Support Program, and purchased a new Prism system to improve training. We also created challenge coins and worked with the Legislature to permanently honor two of our fallen officers by dedicating freeway signs in their name. A strategic staffing study was completed and later approved by city council to increase the number of sworn officers from 143 tom 160 in the coming years.
I will retire with many fond memories but what I will miss the most is the incredible people I have had the opportunity to work with. Each day I have come to work I have prayed for the protection of our personnel and the transformation of our city. I will continue to do so and will make myself available if I can ever be assistance to you.
I am excited for the future of our department and thank you for the amazing privilege of serving as your police chief.
With much appreciation, gratitude and respect-
Dan

The jokes just write themselves, especially the obvious one about Dan Hughes always being known for running a Mickey Mouse operation!

You are just jealous Fullerton Lover. He will make $500k a year now and not have to worry about a few pain in the assess anymore like you, Joe, and Barry.
Job well done DannyBoy.

I wouldn’t want all of your bad karma for all the tea in China!
Guys like you have a way of bad things happening just when you think that good times are ahead.
I still have to wonder if Pat McKinley’s son suddenly dying before he got a chance to retire from Brea PD , wasn’t somehow related to all of his bad karma?
Gotta admit that dying of natural causes in one’s 40’s is a little strange…

lol you wish. Death is part of life. Many people die in their 40’s. But keep thinking that was the case. McKinley also did many good things for Fullerton. He got caught up in politics and run out of town. He’s still very involved behind the scenes. If it was up to you all the cops on scene would have been fired too. Thank God for Pobar.

Not a big deal. The cases affected are solid without the informants. They could toss out the verdicts completly and they would still all be found guilty. California doesn’t really have the death penalty anyways. So it’s all Judy part of the process.
