Managers Report
Happy new year
I would like to bring in the new year brining note to our excellent police
force who ensured a very low crime holiday season and who care about
their community. I am going to read a letter that the Chief recived
regarding one of our super law enforcement persons, in this case Sgt.
Rezaie.
A photo of the event is being displayed while I read the letter.
Hello,
My name is Jeff Werner, I spent 10 years in the navy on submarines also as
Master at Arms. Police dept have gotten to much bad news press this
year and a lot people dont respect you. I attached a picture from last
night when your dept arrested an individual for dui while having his 3 year
old in the car. I'm actually the one who notifed your officer to pull him
over cause I thought he was an hazard. Your sgt went above and
beyond taking care off the child. He took him to RA sushi got him ice
cream and even got napkins to clean his nose cause he was crying. I wish
this was the side of police officers that everyone always saw instead of the
bad. I respect you so much for having this personal on your force.
Thank you for service,
Jeff Werner
All of my staff strive to serve the community in this spirit and we are
especially proud of the law enforcement team that continues to use
community policing practices such as were demonstrated by Sgt. Rezaie
to improve our community.
