Chief Larry Brooks,

I wanted to take a moment to let you know I believe we have one of the best police departments around. Every officer I have encountered for whatever reason demonstrates professionalism. I cannot tell you how very much I appreciate each one. Last night however, one officer stood out, and that was Officer Dick. The mounting frustration with longstanding neighborhood issues was becoming tiresome and I know it could be felt by all with the allegations, phone calls, etc. Last night Officer Dick responded and went far and above what I expected. I suggested a mediator be called in so the neighbors and I could discuss our issues and stop this nonsense. Officer Dick responded by becoming the mediator. Because of his action I finally feel a step in the right direction was taken. The future looks brighter now and I have hope we can continue to go in the right direction. Officer Dick, I can never thank you enough!! Kudo's to a job well done!! Also want to give a quick shout out and thank you to Officer Oliver who has responded to so, so many of these calls over the course of time and always responded with fairness and respect! Thank you again to the best Police Department around!!

Respectfully,
(name omitted for privacy)
