RE: Elk River Police Reserve Unit
Dear Mayor & Council Members:
This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the Elk River Police Reserve Unit.
According to my research the unit was officially recognized on June 2no 1975 (See
attached document) with council approval. Since that date the Reserve Unit has
dedicated countless hours of service to both the Police Department and the citizens
of Elk River with great pride and enthusiasm. During the year 1999 the Reserve
Unit donated roughly 2,200 hours to community events, security checks, and officer
assists.
I am requesting that June 2nd be dedicated as "Elk River Police Reserve Unit Day".
I would also request, if possible, a dedication during the May 22nd Council Meeting
to announce this date along with a public thank you to the Reserve Unit. This
public acknowledgement of both the Reserve Unit and it's countless hours of service
would be greatly appreciated by all those past and current members.
If you would like to discuss this subject in more detail, please feel free to contact me
at the Police Department. Your attention to this matter would be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely, _ j~ ~-~

Dear Mayor & Council Members:
On behalf of the Police Department and the Reserve Unit I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for honoring the Police Reserve Unit and its members. I
have been affiliated with the Reserves for the past 12 years as a helper, assistant
liaison, and liaison. During that time I have trained, advised, coordinated, and
directed some of the most energetic people I have known. Members past and
present have continually given their time to make sure a police presence is known at
a variety of events.
During the past nine years alone, the Reserve Unit has donated roughly 33,000
hours to the community. That number equates to a saving of $726,000.00 for the tax
payers of Elk River. The time that they sacrifice and the service they provide comes
from a unique individual who is TRULY concerned about the community and it's
welfare.
I am extremely proud and grateful to work with these individuals. I am also elated
to be able to help them celebrate 25 years of continued service to the City of Elk
River and it's citizens. They are simply the best.
S' cerely, '--~'~
