Comment: To whom it may concern,
I wanted to share that I recently attend a "Day with SWAT" event with the Clovis PD SWAT Team, and hope that this is something that City Council would continue to endorse for future charitable events. This event was one of many auction items listed at the Hubbard & Baro Veterans Day Golf Tournament a couple of years ago, and this event generated the most excitement during the bidding process.
After experiencing this event first hand with the exceptional individuals that comprise the Clovis SWAT Team, I would definitely bid on the opportunity to do this again. I will share my testimonial with everyone involved with the Hubbard & Baro Veterans Day Golf Tournament with the hope that this event will be requested and offered at future tournaments.
This was an outstanding event, and all those involved deserve a big pat on the back for a job well done.
The men and women in blue don't always get the recognition that they deserve, and I wanted to make sure that this team received the recognition that they so desperately deserve for a job well done.
Thank you for allowing this team to provide such a sought after event for charitable events within Clovis and the surrounding cities.
