Re: Letter of Interest - Remote Access Network (RAN) Board
Honorable Mayors and Councilmembers,
am writing to respectfully request your support for my appointment to the
Remote Access Network Board (RAN). I am a strong supporter of the principles
that guide this statewide network system designed to allow local law
enforcement agencies direct access to the California Identification System.
I have great appreciation for the importance of maintaining a comprehensive
RAN collaborative here in Sonoma County and I would be honored to serve on
this Board. I believe that with my experience serving in local government and
my strong commitment to enhancing local law enforcement practices, I would
be a productive member of the RAN Board.
Thank you for your consideration of my request for appointment to the RAN
Board. Please call me should you have any questions at (707) 888 -2724, or feel
free to e-mail me at gbelforte cx rpcity.org. I appreciate your support.
Sincerely,
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
