Mayor Carol Rios, seen here with Vice Mayor Pat Anderson, reads a city proclamtion to Oakley Police Chief Chris Thorsen, recognizing the Oakley Police Department for preserving peace and protecting life and property in Oakley.

“Every day, our city’s dedicated law enforcement officers put themselves at risk to keep our community safe, selflessly risking their lives to protect our families against crime,” said Rios.

Following the reading of the proclamation, Anderson presented Thorsen with a framed photo of Oakley’s police force.
