A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park
Honoring
DAVID E. WELCH
For his Service to the People of Louisiana
WHEREAS, David Welch began his career with the City of Rohnert Park in August of 1989 as a Public Safety
Officer; and
WHEREAS, the City soon recognized the superior organizational and leadership abilities of Officer Welch and he
was promoted to Sergeant in 1995; and
WHEREAS, this year, as Louisiana reeled under the devastation that followed Hurricane Katrina and the colossal
duty of finding missing loved ones, the Office of Emergency Services requested someone with specific management
training to be part of an overhead management team for fatality management in Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, Officer Welch was the Department of Public Safety's obvious choice and he was dispatched the same
day that OES requested our help to Baton Rouge, LA as a Combined Resources Unit Leader and Safety Officer; and
WHEREAS, without doubt, Sergeant Welch provided his usual superior level of service at whatever duties he was
assigned.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park recognizes and honors
Sergeant David E. Welch for his accomplishments. We thank him for leaving home on a moment's notice and
carrying our torch of brotherhood and hope to the people of Louisiana.
