Editor’s note: This letter is addressed to Gary Conn, chief of the Chatham-Kent Police Service
Sir: I’m not even sure where to begin as I write my response on my experience the past 12 weeks as a participant in the Chatham-Kent Citizens Police Academy. First and foremost, Chief Conn, you have a wonderful group of passionate, confident, enlightening staff that support you.
Each of these people were open, understanding, patient and educational on informing us as to what their job is within the department. I was amazed at how many departments and services that the CKPS has.
One person that I want to mention as a very humble human being is Brian French. He is so grounded and calming as a front-line responder. I feel he is certainly the right man for a job so challenging.
I have heard how difficult it is to find employment within our police department. I truly understand Chief Conn as you have the best of the best in my opinion. Kudos to you!
Last but not least, our two wonderful officers that worked so diligently each week to deliver this unbelievable program, Ken Lauzon and Shawn Mungar. Wow! These guys are amazing and I hope you realize what these men do each and every day. They are wonderful officers who are truly admired.
My sincerest thanks for this incredable opportunity.
