Prepared by: Nate Schmidt, Captain Dublin Police Services
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Dublin Police Services received donations from the Altamont Cruisers Car Club
($2,500), the Valley Spokesmen Touring Club ($1000), and the Bilich Family ($1 000).
All donations will be used for equipment, operating supplies, and training for the Crime
Prevention Unit. The City Council will present the groups with Certificates of
Appreciation for their donations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Formally accept the donations and recognize each donor.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Upon acceptance of the donations, Staff will reflect the $4,500 in both revenue and
expenditures in the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Police Services Budget.
DESCRIPTION:
In February of 2019, Dublin Police Services received a check in the amount of $1,000
from Anthony and Angela Bilich. This donation will support the Dublin Police youth
programs including those which provide drug education and awareness. The funds
received will be utilized to assist with both the DARE program and supplies for Red
Ribbon Week.
In October of 2019, Dublin Police Services received a letter and check in the amount of
$1,000 from the Valley Spokesmen Touring Club. The letter indicated that the club
wanted to provide the donation in support of the Dublin Police Services “Bicycle Safety
Program.” The funds were made available as a result of proceeds the Valley
Spokesmen generated from the “Cinderella Classic/Challenge” bicycle tour in April
2019.

The 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 safety. The donation will allow Crime Prevention to purchase
additional bicycle safety literature, bicycle helmets, obstacle course materials, and
bicycle maintenance supplies. With these additional funds, the Crime Prevention Unit
will be able to expand the bicycle safety program for the children in our community.
On Tuesday, December 10, 2019, Dublin Police Services staff attended a meeting with
the Altamont Cruisers Car Club. At the meeting, the Altamont Cruisers Car Club
presented DPS with a check for $2,500.
The Altamont Cruisers Car Club's donation will assist with the DARE program. The
funds received will be used to send one School Resource Officer to the California
Narcotic Officers Association Training Conference and one Crime Prevention Officer to
the National Conference on Bullying. Because of the ever -changing dynamics of drug
education, it is essential the School Resource Officers get the most updated training
possible. The National Conference on Bullying is offered once a year and will assist the
Crime Prevention Officer with enhancing their skills in identifying and dealing with
childhood bullying. Bullying is also a component of our successful DARE program and is
a serious issue facing schools today.
The funds were made available as a result of profit the Altamont Cruisers Car Club
made from their annual car show.

None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
