Subject: Our Community’s Support Is Needed to Keep Deputy Sheriff Krunal Pandhi in Our Area

Dear Fellow Indian-American, Asian-American, Desi Community Members of Ridge,Winding Ridge, Rivers Edge, Rivers Landing, Woodcreek, Summer Stone, Two Rivers, Cobblestone, Meadow Pointe Area, Chapel Crossing, Avalon Park, Watergrass, Epperson, Mirada, Estancia, Esplanade, and all neighborhoods along the Bruce B. Downs, SR 56, and SR 54 corridor communities of Pasco County and the Wesley Chapel area.  

1. Background & Concern

A. Deputy Sheriff Mr. Krunal Pandhi, our fellow Indian American who lives on Mahogany Valley Drive, Wesley Chapel, FL., has been serving the Wesley Chapel area for the past two years. Recently, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco reassigned to the northern, more rural part of Pasco County along U.S. Route 41 and surrounding area approximately 45 minutes away.

As Wesley Chapel continues to experience rapid growth in both residential and commercial development, our population has expanded significantly. With this growth, our community’s need for trusted and culturally connected law enforcement has also increased. By reassigning Deputy Pandhi, we lose a dedicated officer who has served as an essential bridge between law enforcement and our diverse community. Having a Deputy of Indian origin, who understands and relates to our values, greatly enhances communication and trust.

B. Deputy Pandhi has consistently demonstrated dedication, integrity, and compassion in ensuring our community’s safety and well-being. His approachable nature and understanding of our community’s needs have made a meaningful difference.

C. We believe that our voices matter. Together, we can respectfully request that Deputy Sheriff Pandhi continue serving in the Wesley Chapel area where his impact is most deeply felt.
 
2. How You Can Help

A. We have launched an electronic signature campaign to request that Deputy Pandhi be reassigned back to our Wesley Chapel area from. the northern, more rural part of Pasco County along U.S. Route 41

B. We kindly ask that each spouse in your household sign separately using the attached link https://c.org/fYmkmD7K76, providing your first name, last name, and email address. This ensures two individual votes per family and helps us demonstrate the strength of our united community.

C. Please note that no payment or fee is required, even if a contribution prompt appears on the website. You can simply skip it.

D. We encourage you to share this petition with your neighbors, friends, and other community members in the Wesley Chapel area. Let’s work together to bring back our dedicated Deputy Sheriff, Mr. Krunal Pandhi, to continue serving our neighborhoods.
 
3. Summary

A. This is our opportunity to stand together as a community and make sure our voices are heard.Deputy Pandhi has always been there for us, now let’s stand up for him as a united front to bring him back to serve our area.

B. Once we collect sufficient signatures, we will formally submit a community petition and memo to Sheriff Nocco requesting that Deputy Pandhi be reassigned to Wesley Chapel Corridor. We also plan to request an in-person meeting with Sheriff Nocco to represent our collective support and demonstrate the unity of our Indian-American, Asian-American, and Desi Community.

C. Thank you all for your continued support and involvement.
