Bob Valenzuela Should Lead Security at LAT

After the sudden departure of Mike LaPerruque, head of security at all Los Angeles Times properties, there is a void in the security department that needs to be filled. Instead of bringing in an outsider again, why not promote Bob Valenzuela to the vacant position?

Mr. Valenzuela knows everyone from the publisher to printers like myself, and acts in a very professional manner when the security of the newspaper or the employees comes into play.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Valenzuela on Monday while he was visiting the Olympic Facility, and like the men and women that work for him, I have the highest regard for Mr. Valenzuela.
