California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) Law Enforcement Branch Chief Mark Pazin (left) is getting ready to retire, but now that he\u2019s been sworn in by CDFA Secretary Karen Ross (right), he\u2019ll be using some of that newly acquired free time to extend his public service as a member of the Merced County Fair Board. Before joining OES, Pazin also served as Merced County Sheriff. CDFA Deputy Secretary Arturo Barajas (center), who works closely with our community of California fairs, was on hand to welcome Chief Pazin to the fairs family. Thank you for your service \u2013 both past and future.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
