Dear Chief Rose:
The Dublin-San Ramon Lions Club is very proud of our association
with Dublin Police Services. We are also very appreciative of the
work being done in the community in law enforcement and in com-
munity service by police officers of your department.
The recent success of the Special Bicycle Enforcement Unit has come
to our attention through Lieutenant Norm Gomes, Sergeant Chavarria
and the local media. We are very pleased that this unit was able to
reduce major and minor crimes in Dublin during recent holidays by
a very significant amount. The patrol appears to be very economi-
cal, quiet, and does allow each of us to meet the officers face to
face on a regular basis, instead of a wave to a passing car. This
is a very exciting approach to enforcement for the people of
Dublin.
It is our sincere hope that the patrol will continue in Dublin. We
are aware that the patrol. however, has been using bicycles from
lost and found. We want the patrol to have good, reliable and
improved equipment which the officers can depend upon.
Therefore, the Dublin-San Ramon Lions Club wish to donate three
Diamond Back Ascent Mountain Bikes to the City of Dublin Police
Services. The bikes are to be used for police law enforcement and
community service in the City of Dublin.
Chief Rose, please accept our donation and extend our thank you to
your officers and staff for their efforts on our-behalf. We wish
you continued success in your law enforcement efforts in the
community.
Sincerely,
dJz~;(;I7M/~Ld
