“LOYAL SERVICE DESERVES LASTING CARE”

our board

Amber Cone

My husband and I were raised in Glendora, both graduating from Glendora High School. With the small town feel of the community, incredible schools, and safe environment, we knew Glendora was an amazing place to raise our 3 children. I have worked at Citrus College for 15 years and held positions in Fiscal Services and the Human Resources Department. Prior to that, I worked at several of our local, small businesses during my teen and college years. I have been an animal lover since birth and currently have 2 dogs. We are very active with the public schools and local sports leagues, and I wish to continue giving back by supporting our city and police department however I can.

Heather Raymond

Hi!  My name is Heather Raymond.  I’ve been a resident of Glendora since 2017.  I have 2 kids, Cooper and Parker who I love raising in this community.  I am the Vice President of Marketing & Communications for San Antonio Regional Hospital in Upland.

I’m thrilled to serve on the Glendora K-9 Foundation Board because I believe a solid K-9 program can ultimately help save the lives of our officers and is critical to any police force.

Heidi J. Fortea,
(MSN, RN-BC)

Hi, my name is Heidi! I made Glendora my home in 2012, where I live with my husband, Roger, our two fantastic children, and our two beloved dogs. My professional background is in nursing, but in 2023, I made a transition into a full-time stay-at-home mom. This role has allowed me to deepen my commitment to our community, especially in supporting the critical efforts of our police department’s K9 program. Being involved in a foundation that backs this cause is something I’m passionately committed to, as it combines my love for animals with my dedication to the safety and well-being of our community.

Manish Patel

I’m Manish Patel, a dedicated family man who’s proudly called Glendora home since 2014. Being married and having two wonderful kids, ensuring the safety and prosperity of my family and community is my top priority. I hold deep respect and unwavering support for our local law enforcement, recognizing the crucial role they play in keeping Glendora safe. That’s why I’m an avid supporter of the Glendora K9 Foundation. I believe in the importance of the K9 unit in law enforcement and actively contribute my time and resources to assist their mission. Supporting the police and championing the welfare of my community are integral parts of who I am. I’m committed to making Glendora a secure and thriving place for all of us.

Michael Sacchetto

Hello, I’m Michael Sacchetto, a proud Glendora resident. I am happily married with two beautiful children who love this community as much as my wife and I do. Our family has been immersed in this tight knit community since 2014.  I’ve dedicated my time to the Glendora K-9 Foundation after recognizing the crucial role our K-9 officers play in enhancing our safety and the need for their post-retirement support.  I am committed to ensuring the safety of our community and our officers. And my advocacy extends to fostering a high quality of life for retired K-9s, reflecting my deep appreciation for these special canine partners.

Marty Barrett

Hello, my name is Marty Barrett and I am a lifelong resident of Glendora. I live here with my wife and two children. 

I am a retired Glendora Police Officer and my wife is a retired Glendora Police Dispatcher. I was also Glendora PD’s first K-9 handler.

Glendora is a very unique City in that it has a great sense of community and that its citizens greatly appreciate public safety and support the Glendora Police Department in its mission. Because of this, I am excited and proud to be able to serve as a member of the Glendora K-9 Foundation.

Sarah Trent-Miranda

Hi! My name is Sarah Trent Miranda. Glendora is my hometown and my family has been here since 1957. My Grandpa Teddy Murray was a police officer for Glendora PD in the 60’s, and he loved his time on the force. My husband Art and I have 1 daughter, Mackenzie and one of our favorite things to do is ride our bikes and scooters around this wonderful town.  I’m excited to serve on the Glendora K-9 Foundation Board because I want to ensure our K9 Partners are properly honored in retirement and their owners/handlers receive the funds and support they need to care for these wonderful animals beyond their years of dedicated service.
