DESCRIPTION:
On Tuesday, November 12, 2016, Dublin Police Services received a letter with a check
in the amount of $1,500 from the Valley Spokesmen Tou ring Club. The letter indicated
that the Valley Spokesmen wanted to provide the donation to support the Dublin Police
Services “Bicycle Safety Program”. The funds were made available as a result of a
profit The Valley Spokesmen made from their women’s on ly “Cinderella
Classic/Challenge” bicycle tour in April 2011.
Dublin Police Services’ Crime Prevention Unit coordinates and sponsors several bicycle
rodeo and safety events throughout the year. The events target Dublin youth and focus
on bicycle and roadway safety. The donation would allow Crime Prevention to
purchase additional bicycle safety literature, obstacle course materials, and bicycle
maintenance tools and supplies. With these additional funds, the Crime Prevention Unit
will be able to expand the bicycle safety program for the children in our community.
