FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Upon acceptance of the donations, Staff will reflect the $3,750 in both revenue and
expenditures in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 Police Services Budget.
DESCRIPTION:
On Thursday, November 16, 2017, Dublin Police Services received a letter and check in
the amount of $500 from the Valley Spokesmen Touring Club. The letter indicated that
the Valley Spokesmen 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 from the “Cinderella Classic/Challenge” bicycle tour in April 2017.
The Dublin Police Services Crime Prevention Unit coordinates and sponsors several
bicycle safety events throughout the year that target Dublin youth. 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 12, 2017, Lieutenant Victor Fox attended a meeting with the
Altamont Cruisers Car Club on behalf of Dublin Police Services. At the meeting, the
Altamont Cruisers presented him with a check for $2,500 to 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. Because of this training, School Re source Officers are able to enhance their
knowledge of current drug trends. 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 our school-aged children today.
The funds were made available as a result of profit the Altamont Cruisers Car Club
made from their annual car show.
On January 2, 2018, Dublin Police Services received a letter and check in the amount of
$750 from Anthony, Angela and Lauren Bilich. The letter indicated that the Bilich family
wanted to provide the donation in support of 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.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
