Greater Cleveland Police Emerald Society

Our May meeting will be on May 4th, at the CPPA Hall on W. 58th street. Our guest speaker will be Sheriff Daniel McClelland, and his K-9 partner, Midge, of the Geauga County Sheriff's Office. This will be our last meeting until September, so let's have a great turn-out! Meeting starts at 7:00pm.

Also, we have upcoming events, a trip to Put-in-Bay on June 12th, and a Lake County Captains game on June 19th. If you are interested in these outings, please make sure you contact Brian (Put-in-Bay) or Matt (Captains game) for tickets ASAP, as these events may sell out.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Cleveland Heights Police Officer, Thomas Patton, who died  Saturday, March 13^th, 2010 while on the job. Officer Patton was with the Cleveland Heights Police Department for 7 years, and was a third generation police officer, following his grandfather and uncle into law enforcement.

Our thoughts and prayers also go out to the family of Elyria Police Officer James Kerstetter. Officer Kerstetter was shot and killed in the line of duty, Monday, March 15^th, 2010. He was the first Elyria Police Officer killed in the line of duty in 67 years. Officer Kerstetter was with the Elyria Police Department for 15 years.

Thank you, Officers Patton and Kerstetter, may you both Rest in Peace.
