DESCRIPTION:
On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, Dublin Police Services received a letter with a check in the
amount of $1,500 from the Valley Spokesmen Touring Club. The letter indicated that the Valley
Spokesmen wanted to provide the donation to support the Dublin Police Services "Bicycle
Safety Program." The funds were made available as a result of a profit the Valley Spokesmen
made from their women's only "Cinderella Classic/Challenge" bicycle tour in April 2014.
Dublin Police Services' Crime Prevention Unit coordinates and sponsors several bicycle rodeo
and safety events throughout the year. The events target Dublin youth and focus on bicycle and

roadway safety. The donation will allow the Crime Prevention Unit to expand the bicycle safety
program for the children in our community by purchasing additional bicycle safety literature,
bicycle helmets, obstacle course materials, and bicycle maintenance tools and supplies.
On Tuesday, December 9, 2014, Sergeant Snider, on behalf of Dublin Police Services, attended
a Grant Presentation Meeting of the Altamont Cruisers Car Club. At the meeting the Altamont
Cruisers Car Club presented DPS with a check for $2,500 for the purpose of assisting with drug
prevention programs. The funds will be used to provide current drug trend training classes for
DARE Officers in the area of Drug Education and to purchase necessary equipment for staff to
conduct classes and trainings. The funds were made available from the Altamont Cruisers Car
Club annual car show.
On Wednesday, December 31, 2014, the Bilich family delivered a check to Dublin Police
Services in the amount of $1,000 as a donation for use in youth programs. Currently the Dublin
