March 27, 2023 - In celebration of Women's History month, Senator Alvarado-Gill has recognized Ms. Anamika S. Chand on the senate floor. Ms. Chand's husband, Corporal Ronil Singh - an officer with the Newman Police, was gunned down in the line of duty on Christmas night in 2018.

Ms. Chand, now a single mother of their son, Arnav, is also a nurse and community advocate for Blue Line Wives, Anamika has demonstrated great resilience and leadership in public service despite undergoing such a horrific, life-altering loss.  Anamika has committed her life to making her community a better place by fundraising thousands of dollars for charity programs.

"We had several deserving women nominated for this recognition, however I am proud to be able to recognize the hard-work and commitment Ms. Chand has displayed in the face of such terrible adversity," said Senator Alvarado-Gil.

After the loss of her husband, Ms. Chand became dedicated to advocating for the wives of law enforcement officers. She has become a voice for these women, a source of support and inspiration, to help them cope with the unique struggles that come with being a part of the law enforcement community. She also continues to work as an oncology nurse for Sutter Health Memorial Medical Center.
