We are very <br />fortunate to have the commitment and support of our respective Chiefs and <br />Administration. The <br />expanded opportunities for <br />growth, training and <br />equipment, along with <br />building working <br />partnerships with other <br />police agencies will greatly <br />benefit the cities we serve. <br />We will remain strongly <br />committed to providing a <br />professional and tactical <br />response to all high risk <br />incidents when called upon <br />to do so. <br />IV <br />
