Dear Mr. Buckley,

I would like to take this opportunity to commend Chief Chuck Gruber for his professionalism and expertise on his recent presentation to the Rockford Police Department. Chief Gruber spent two-and-a-half days instructing on "Use of Force" to our Senior Command Staff, Supervisors, as well as Attorneys from the City of Rockford Department of Law, Winnebago County States Attorney's Office, the Police Benevolent and Protective Association Unit 6 Board Attorneys and members.

I received numerous positive comments on Chief Gruber's knowledge of subject matter and his connection to the class. In addition, Chief Gruber took additional time for a half-day session with our Legal Director and Senior Command Staff to discuss managing the "Use of Force" process.

You and the entire John Reid staff should be proud of the professional work Chief Gruber provides on behalf of your company. Job well done!

Sincerely,

Chet Epperson Chief of Police
Rockford, IL
