Mr. Patrick,

I respectfully request that Officer Mike Brooks be confirmed as a patrol officer
for the Kalispell Police Department. Officer Brooks has successfully completed his one
year probationary period effective January 1, 2005.
Officer Brooks most recently came to us from the Montana Highway Patrol where
he served for over seven years. Mike also served in the United States Navy and has
attended Flathead Valley Community College. He is a graduate of Libby High School, is
a certified radar instructor and has over 200 hours of advanced Montana P.O.S.T.
certified training.
During his tenure Mike has proven himself to be a committed, compassionate law
enforcement professional. He has a tremendous work ethic and he is constantly striving
to improve himself and those around him.
He exemplifies our shared values of honesty, integrity, professional competence,
compassion, positive leadership and respect for the public. He recognizes that his badge
is a symbol of public faith and works hard to be a good steward of that public trust.
It is with great pleasure that I give my highest recommendation to you on the
confirmation of Officer Mike Brooks. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
Sincerely
Frank Garner
Chief of Police
