Commending Sergeant James Thomas McVeigh on the 25th
Anniversary of his service to the Town of Tiburon

the holding cell was a converted closet; and

officer and later as a canine officer, field training officer and investigator, while
progressing through the rank of corporal in 1988 and to sergeant in 2002; and

administration of citation appeals, inventory control and building maintenance, and has
fulfilled the responsibilities of each of these often thankless tasks with a combination of
enthusiasm and intelligence that has improved departmental efficiency; and
WHEREAS, Jim has consistently participated as a key member of the department staff who
shares his insights freely, accepts criticism gracefully, dissents honestly and respectfully,
and supports wholeheartedly the goals of the department and the Town; and
WHEREAS, Jim has been instrumental in communicating the unique characteristics of police
service in the Town of Tiburon to newer members of the staff, thereby ensuring
continuity of purpose and pursuit of the highest level of public service; and

serves have been amply documented in dozens of letters of appreciation and
commendations from police chiefs, council members, business leaders, residents, and
