To: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Corporal Mike Ford <br /> <br />Chief Karl Louis <br /> <br />Letter of Commendation <br /> <br />dUN 25 2001 <br /> <br />Date: June 22, 2001 <br /> <br />On June 9, 2001 our department received information from Bonham, <br />Texas Police Department that there had been an armed hi - jacking of a <br />vehicle in their city by three armed suspects. You were able to locate the <br />suspect vehicle in our city and gave information to your Patrol Officers <br />alerting them that the armed suspects were in a highly populated <br />residential area of our city. You assisted in the search for and seizure of <br />the three - armed men, each of which were carrying heavy caliber <br />weapons on their persons when located and arrested. <br /> <br />You are hereby commended for your brave and courageous actions on <br />this date. You responded to a very dangerous call and placed yourself at <br />risk while protecting the citizens in the surrounding residential <br />neighborhood and streets. There is no doubt in my mind that if you had <br />not diligently conducted your search and subsequent arrests of the <br />suspects that there would have been further criminal activity. There is <br />no telling what might have occurred except for your gallant police worla <br /> <br />You are an asset to this department and are to be congratulated for a <br />job well done. You can take pride in the fact that your work on this day <br />most likely saved an innocent victim of crime from a lifetime of pain <br />and horror. Without regard for yourself, you placed yourself in harm's <br />way and conducted yourself in a very professional manner. You are an <br />example to your subordinate officers and.I am proud to be associated <br />with Police Officers such as you. <br /> <br />Sincerely~ <br /> <br />Chief Karl Louis <br /> <br />Cc: Michael E. Malone, City Manager <br /> Personnel File <br /> <br /> <br />
