Proclamation
Recognizing National Police Week
May 15-21, 2022
Whereas, there are more than 800,000 law enforcement officers serving in communities across the United States, including the dedicated members of the Sebastopol Police Department; and Whereas, the Sebastopol Police Department plays an essential role in safeguarding the rights and freedoms of all members of the community; and
Whereas, it is important that all community members know and understand the duties, responsibilities, hazards, and sacrifices of their law enforcement agency, and that members of our law enforcement agency recognize their duty to serve the people by safeguarding life and property, by protecting them against violence and disorder, and by protecting the innocent against deception and the weak against oppression; and
Whereas, the men and women of the Sebastopol Police Department unceasingly, selflessly, and with great risk to their own personal safety provide this vital public service; Now, Therefore Be It Resolved, that I, Mayor Patrick Slayter, hereby declare the week of May 15 to May 21, 2022 to be National Police Week in the City of Sebastopol and call upon all community members to join in commemorating law enforcement officers, past and present, who, by their faithful and loyal devotion to their responsibilities, have rendered a dedicated service to their communities and have established for themselves an enviable and enduring reputation for preserving the rights and security of all community members.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and the Great Seal of the City of Sebastopol this 3rd day of May, 2022.
Mayor Patrick Slayter
