This Letter to the Commission is to advise the Mayor and Commission of the Police Department
employees who have been named Officer/Civilian of the year for 1999.
We are pleased to announce that Detective Andrew Dohler, of the Strategic Investigations Unit, has
been named Officer of the Year for 1999. Detective Dohler earned this award as a result of his work
on a 20-month undercover investigation that led to the arrest of a high profile criminal. During this
investigation, Detective Dohler placed himself at extreme personal risk. His bravery, dedication and
investigative expertise earned him this award for outstanding service.
We are also pleased to announce that Ms. Michelle Bronstein, Victim Advocate of the Domestic
Violence Unit, has been named Civilian of the Year for 1999. Ms. Bronstein eamed this award as
a result of the culmination of her hard work and dedication to the cause of victims' rights over the
last three years. Ms. Bronstein has been instrumental in all of the programs and projects that have
enabled the City to become one of the most innovative agencies in victims' rights.
Please join myself and Chief Barreto in recognizing these two outstanding employees.
