I � <br />memorandum <br />TO: City Council <br />John Godwin, City Manager <br />FROM: Bob Hundley, Chief of Police <br />SUBJECT: RECOGNITION OF AMANDA WILLOWS & COLEMAN MORRIS <br />DATE: November 13, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: On July 91h, four Dallas Police Officers and one Dallas Area Rapid Transit <br />police officer were killed by a sniper using a high powered rifle. As a result of that attack, Brandi <br />Leber of Hopkins County founded the Adopt -A -Cop Foundation. Amanda Willows and Coleman <br />Morris, residents of Lamar county decided to begin an extension of that organization here in <br />Lamar County. <br />The organization here brought in enough donations to provide every peace officer in Lamar <br />County, 132 officers, an armor vest capable of stopping high powered rifle rounds. This was <br />accomplished in a little over 48 hours. They then took the program a step further and provided a <br />ballistic helmet for all officers in Lamar County. The average cost for the vest and helmet is <br />around $450. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: All vests and helmets have been purchased and presented to the officers of <br />Lamar County. <br />BUDGET: There is no impact to the budget. The helmets and vests presented to the Paris Police <br />Officers are valued at a little over $27,000.00. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Recognize Amanda Willows and Coleman Morris for their leadership <br />of in raising funds for the purchase of these potentially lifesaving equipment. <br />
