Section 5 member Tom Smith relays his pride in daughter Jackie. She made the AB Honor Roll. This is an excellent accomplishment. “I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU! I’d also like to say thanks for helping Andrew with his homework while I have been gone. I love you and miss you both.”
Section 5 member Tom Smith and FBI Leadership Fellow Scott Salley would like to extend their condolences and prayer to the family and friends of one of our Collier County Sheriff’s Office Captains. Captain Pat Mullen died on November 22nd Pat was a true example of leadership, fellowship and friendship. He rose through the ranks after starting with the agency at 19 and was last
assigned as the Uniform Patrol Division Commander. Pat’s very short struggle with cancer took him from our good graces too quickly. He will be missed by all.
Section 4 member Kenny Dunlap advises that his 6 year old son Cameron broke his nose on Nov. 30th while his dad flew back to Quantico. Luckily the break was clean and will not require surgery.
“Praise God.”

Section 1 member Paul Hosler provided the following information about the latest in ballistic vest technology:
Seco Safety Equipment in Redding, CA is manufacturing ballistic vests that are absolutely awesome. They are lightweight and utilize the latest materials and technology. For those in warm climates, you have to see this... .there is an optional liner that actually cools the wearer. The easiest way for me to describe the liner is that it’s a mesh-type ‘stuff’. I put the vest on and walked outside in 115 degree heat and was honestly cooler than I was in a t-shirt. My department has purchased these vests for all our officers and I am aware of a number of agencies doing the same. They are certified and authorized for purchase through B.J.A. Ballistic Vest Program. I have a sample vest and flyers for anyone who is interested in viewing. Contact Paul at Jefferson 1009, ext. 2203.
Section 2 member Douglas Kane would like to share a thank you note (see attached) from his son, Adam. Adam received flowers from fellow section 2 members, after Adam broke his arm. The break unfortunately required surgery.
