ELKINS FOR HIS MANY YEARS OF DEDICATED
SERVICE TO THE CITY OF AZUSA
The City Council of the City of Azusa does
hereby resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the sad truth that mankind requires the services
of persons to enforce rules of conduct and disci-
pline.upon the members of all societies, has
given rise to a special type 'of person, one who
is -trained to act on a moment's notice, often
without even that margin, and
WHEREAS, in the.United States of America, within a rapidly
changing environment of values, technology,
political philosophies and social mores, sometimes
mixed helteY-skelter•in a kaleidescopic jumble,
that special type of.person has evolved into what
in mc, arts of.the: world is considered to be an
impossibM combination of spiritual, mental and
physicals ability, and
WHEREAS, while;th"e hatural response to danger is avoidance,
policemen•-, .whose normal course of duty requires
intervention in crises, must seek out and attempt
to remove the cause, and
. 4 f
WHEREAS, *} since ;^April 26, F 1947:, CARL ELKINS has been a

front as a patrolman, he has attained the post
of Chief of Police,.an office involving -both
-'adminis't%rative-management and police matters;
