"It is such a pleasure to meet our newest members, answer their questions, and to let them know what we are all about and that we are always here for them," said Bishop.  "We want to be there, right alongside  them in their careers."

Bishop also visited with current members, investigators  at the Department of Insurance in Rancho Cucumonga and investigators at Patton State Hospital.

"This is a chance for me to update our valued members on contract negotiations and to answer their questions regarding services and benefits," said Bishop.  "I met with more than a dozen members with the Department of Insurance and want to thank CACI's James Potts for talking about negotiations and a special thanks to Eddie Asencio for his assistance in organizing the meeting."
