A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon
Commending Sergeant Michael A. Mourgos on the Occasion of his Retirement from the
Tiburon Police Department
WHEREAS, Michael A. Mourgos began his career as a Police Officer with the Town of
Tiburon on October 13, 1986 serving with distinction in a variety of assignments
beginning with Patrol Officer until his promotion to Sergeant in 2002 and including
specialty assignments as Juvenile Officer, Field Training Officer and supervision of
the Field Training Officer program; and
WHEREAS, Mike's deep commitment to the concepts of community policing and a true
desire to serve the public have been demonstrated by innumerable examples of his
genuine concern for the well being of all those he came in contact with, amply
documented in countless letters of appreciation from business leaders, residents,
visitors and commendations from his supervisors; and
WHEREAS, Mike's professionalism, dedication and selflessness epitomized the very concept
of leadership by example; his unmatched work ethic included often taking a beat
when no longer required to do so, writing reports he could have delegated and
handling far more than his share of calls for service; and as a sergeant, Mike never
used more than a very few leave days each year even though he was entitled to far
more; and
WHEREAS, Mike's charitable qualities and personal generosity were manifest in the many,
many hours of personal time spent representing the Tiburon Police Department in
car shows and parades and participating in charity fundraising events like "Tip-A-
Cop", all while maintaining the department's classic patrol car and all without
expectation of compensation of any kind; and
WHEREAS, Michael A. Mourgos' career stands as a shining example of one man's life long
commitment to the highest standards of public service, professional conduct, ethical
leadership and personal sacrifice in a twenty five year quest to exceed the goals of
the Town Council and the expectations of our residents, his co-workers and
Tiburon's merchants, residents and visitors.
Now THEREFORE, THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON, on behalf of all its
citizens, does hereby commend, congratulate and sincerely thank Sergeant Michael A.
Mourgos for his 25 years of truly exceptional service on the occasion of his retirement.
Passed and Adopted at the Town Council on November 2, 2011, by the following vote:
