“Cecil Pendergrass has demonstrated his leadership ability as an outstanding officer of the law with the Fort Myers Police Department. There is no guess work. I have admired and respected his steady and reasonable approach to problem solving.

He is postured and ready to serve and I believe he will do so efficiently and with great common sense. I have witnessed this in Cecil over the past decade while serving with him as an elected official for the City of Fort Myers. He has earned the respect of the citizens of Fort Myers and will do the same across Lee County and beyond.”

~Randall P. Henderson, Jr.
Mayor, City of Fort Myers

"It is without hesitation that I offer this letter of reference and support for Cecil Pendergrass.  I have enjoyed a close, personal friendship with Cecil for more than thirty (30) years and a professional, working relationship for nearly as many.

As a valued friend, Cecil has always been loyal, reliable, and trustworthy.  As a counterpart in law enforcement, he has always demonstrated a sincere concern for the community we serve.

Cecil recently retired from a long and distinguished career with the Fort Myers Police Department and has embarked on a campaign to become a County Commissioner.  I am confident that he would do a fine job and I encourage others to support him as well."

“Cecil Pendergrass is a dedicated person who worked endless hours, nights, and weekends in support of our community.  He could have spent this time with his family, friends, or even working for pay, but his efforts were all voluntary and he did so with enthusiasm, integrity, and compassion.  Whatever the needs were in the community, he would line up the right people to attend our monthly Neighborhood Watch meetings, whether it was the Mayor, City Councilman, Code Enforcement, Downtown Redevelopment, City Planners, or other community support groups.
 
We felt safer in our neighborhood because we all had Cecil’s personal cell phone number and we knew we could call him at any time, night or day if there was a reason to, and he made sure our concerns were addressed immediately.  In my life I have not known of another civil servant with this level of dedication.  He is a True Civil Servant, in word, action, and deed.  He will be a great asset to our County.”
