Six Suisun City police staffers have been singled out for departmental honors, including Officer of the Year for 2005.
In receiving the award as Police Officer of the Year, Officer Andrew White's achievements, officials said, included filling in as a dispatcher, initiating a large-scale community policing project in the Cedar Glen/7-Eleven area and, in an overtime capacity, serving as the department's information technology administrator.
In that position, officials said, White developed an electronic timesheet system, a field-based reporting system, digital imaging project, code enforcement management system, property and evidence bar coding system and an automated reporting system.
Officer Michael Davis and Detective Matt Eleopoulos were named officers of the quarter for Oct. to Dec. 2005. Davis was chosen for his proficiency in enforcing anti-DUI laws in making more than 40 DUI arrests and assisting in numerous other DUI investigations. He is considered a resource for field sobriety training, officials said.
Eleopoulos was recognized for preventing a child-abuse suspect who was out on bail from fleeing the country to avoid trial, for testifying at the trial of two rape suspects just days after undergoing abdominal surgery and for being instrumental in the prosecution of a suspect in a stalking case, officials said.
Officer Michael Urlaub was named Reserve Police Officer of the Year for his willingness to assist on any assignment, such as filling in as a dispatcher, for seeking out and financing an impressive selection of training, and more.
Communications Technician II Amber Kent was designated Dispatcher of the Year for the second consecutive year, and is Support Services Person of the Quarter for Oct. to Dec. 2005. Among her many accomplishments, officials said, Kent developed policies and procedures in less than 48 hours, which allowed the department to unveil an electronic subpoena program on Jan. 1; trained a new dispatcher while working the dispatch center by herself; and revamped the dispatch training program, which a staffing consultant called "years ahead" of that of other agencies.
Police Aide Jesse Rutland, named Support Services Person of the Year, was acknowledged for numerous achievements, including the six-month overhaul of the Property and Evidence Program.

Suisun lighthouse still on schedule
From Daily Republic // Jan. 31, 2006

SUISUN CITY - The 45-foot-long pilings are in and the rest of the foundation is expected to be put down in the near future as Suisun City's Old Town lighthouse moves closer to reality.
"We are still on schedule to have it completed by the Fourth of July," said Dan Kasperson, the city's chief building inspector and the lighthouse project's manager.
Workers from Blackshear Construction were on the lighthouse site near Mike Day Park earlier this month, pounding the pilings into the ground.
Suisun City leaders have lauded the 52-foot-tall lighthouse as a distinctive symbol of the downtown area's continuing transformation into a destination spot for shoppers.
The idea for the lighthouse came out of a series of community forums held in late 2004 as a landmark that could be easily visible from Highway 12.
The council awarded Blackshear a $623,000 contract in early December to put up the structure, which was designed by ROMA Design Group.
The lighthouse's steel structure is now being fabricated by Delta Steel in its Benicia facility and will be transported to Suisun City on a large truck and put into place by cranes some time in March, according to Kasperson.
"The lighthouse's dedication ceremony will be coordinated with the Fourth of July celebration," Kasperson said.
