IN RE: SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - NAMING OF BOOTCAMP BUILDING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
-WHEREAS, the "Bootcamp" program was started in September 1990, by Sheriff
John F. Nichols to help alleviate the overcrowding conditions in the Oakland
County Jail, and
WHEREAS, the opening of the new Bootcamp building in 1993 will allow year
round use and increased participation in class size for this unique program, and
WHEREAS, the core component of this program is military-style discipline
with emphasis on team work self-motivation and goal-setting, and, to date the
program has had 350 graduates with a phenomenally low recidivism rate; which
represents not only a substantial savings to the taxpayers, but untold savings
in human suffering and wasted lives.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby recognize the innovative leadership of Oakland County Sheriff, John
F. Nichols, as an outstanding law enforcement professional. In acclamation of
his exceptional performance of duties, we do hereby designate the new bootcamp
building as the John F. Nichols Barracks.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
