Dear Friends,
The event today was peaceful, and the crowds have dispersed. It was an example of how different people can come together to send an important message. I could not be prouder of how our community and the police handled themselves, and I was glad to see Sgt. Tyrone Rolls and Lt. Pat Randles join the proceedings to offer their perspectives.
I want to thank our entire department and all of the neighboring patrols who provided assistance, as well as the entire city team. I also want to let you know that we will continue to be prepared for any situation as the day continues.
Warm regards,
Mayor Jay A. Gillian
