P.O. BOX 333 y�4 co. `oo ARTINEZ, CALIFORNIA 94553 December 6, 1991 Board of Supervisors Contra Costa County 651 Pine Street Martinez, CA 94553 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you Mr. Gary Arroyo who has been a member of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department and the Deputy Sheriff's Association for the past 9 1/2 years. Upon learning that a position to the Advisory Council on Equal Employment Opportunity was open, I was asked if there was anyone within this association that would be interested and qualified to sit on that council. Mr. Arroyo immediately came to mind as he has -demonstrated over the past years to be the type of person that is very sensitive to the needs of others regardless of their ethnic background. Deputy Arroyo, being of Mexican descent became interested in the Latino Peace Officers Association in an attempt to help promote recruiting and employment opportunities within this organization for Latino Deputies. Also as a result of his affiliation with the organization Mr. Arroyo has given of himself and his time to helping the minority populations of this -county and to strive to enhance better community relations amongst all. I have discussed this position with Mr. Arroyo at length and he has indicated a very strong interest in serving. If selected I feel that Mr. Arroyo would be an asset to this council, the county and most of all the citizens that we all strive to serve. If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me at (510) 228-9710. Respectfully, Carl D. Carey, Pr dent Deputy Sheriff's Association CDC/lw
