Welcome!

I hope you enjoy the new blog. I’ve been working on a book since 1995 about the history of the San Rafael Police Department. Many of you have been kind enough to share your pictures, memorbilia and stories with me. While talking with you I learned we needed an easy way for all past and current employees of the San Rafael Police Department to communicate with each other so I decided to start this blog.

My hope is that the word will spread among the many former and current members of the San Rafael Police Department that this is a place we can share stories, pictures, comments, and historical events with each other.

This blog will grow and change as more people join.

I’ll start by sending invitations to former and current members of the San Rafael Police Department.

This blog will be visible to the “world” but only people selected to be a “contributor” can add a new post (topic).

This is it is a moderated blog. Anybody can comment on a post (message) but all comments are approved by me before they will be posted.

I hope you will read the blog often and I invite you to contact me by leaving a comment to this message. If you’d like to be a contributor, please let me know. The more contributors we have using the blog, the better!

Enjoy!

  3. I don't know if anyone's mentioned it to you or not, but Beth Minka in the department's business office has a contact list for retirees. It would help you to expand the knowledge of this blog.

    By the way, thank you for taking this task on. Dan Hanlon was the one who earlier this week told me about it and gave me the address. Good luck.

    Thanks for the info. I spoke with Beth the other day and I'm going to get an updated copy of the list so I can send out another message letting all the retirees know. The more of us spreading the word about the blog, the better.
