Stanton : Police Chief Appointed to Justice System Group

Police Chief Robert Eason has been appointed to the County Justice System Advisory Group, which advises the county Board of Supervisors on spending state funds to help adult and juvenile offenders.

Eason replaces Cypress Police Chief Ron Lowenberg, who stepped down from the 16-member group due to other commitments. The $5 million in state funds was used this year for halfway houses, drug-rehabilitation programs, emergency shelters for runaway teen-agers and programs for ex-convicts.
