OFFICE OF THE VILLAGE MANAGER LETTER TO COUNCIL
NO. 120-2021
TO: Mayor Gabriel Groisman and Members of the Village Council
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, Village Mange
DATE: August 13, 2021
SUBJECT: Compliment for the Bal Harbour lice Department from David Bolton Jr.
The purpose of this Letter to Council (LTC) is to share with you an email received by Chief
Raleigh Flowers from David Bolton, Jr, commending a Bal Harbour Police Officer.
On Sunday, August 8, 2021, Mr. David Bolton, Jr. observed Bal Harbour Police Officer W.
Myers driving north on the Florida Turnpike at 6:10 pm. While on his way to work, Officer
Myers stopped and rendered aid to two motorists, who had been involved in a minor
accident, and were blocking the center lane on the Turnpike just north of the SW 104 Street
exit. Officer Myers helped clear the lane of traffic, even pushing a vehicle off the roadway,
and ensured the safety of those involved. A copy of the email is attached for your
information and reference.
I would like to take this opportunity to commend Officer Myers for providing quality police
service, representing our community so capably, and exemplifying the Bal Harbour
Experience, even outside of our jurisdiction. His commitment and service does not go
unnoticed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Chief Raleigh Flowers at
305.866.5000.

Chief Flowers,
Sunday 8-8-21 I observed one of your officers driving north on the Florida Turnpike just North of
SW 104 St at approximately 6:10pm. A minor accident occurred and the vehicles were blocking
the center of the Turnpike. This officer stopped rendered assistance and even helped push one
of the vehicle off the side of the road as it was clearly a safety hazard. I wanted you to know that
this officer went out of his way to help these people and keep our community safe. I have worked
with the police in twenty different countries over the past three decades and understand the
importance of community policing and of proactive policing. I wanted to take the time to let you
know of this officers work ethic and commitment to this community. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Bolton Investigations Inc.
