Subject: Possible Police Cruiser Donation
Dear Cathy:
My name is Allen Stehle and I am president of Beal College. A faculty member in my law enforcement
program was speaking with Bob Dawes about the possibility of having the City of Bangor donate one of
the Bangor Police Department cruisers that are slated for retirement.
The plan for the cruiser would be solely used for training our criminal justice students in patrol
procedures on our property. The car would not be registered for on the road use and only used in an
educational setting. All Bangor PD identification on the vehicle would be removed and replaced with
Beal College identification.
The Beal College law enforcement program has been successful for the past twenty years and we have
placed many fine officers with the Bangor Police Department. It would be wonderful for perspective
students and current students in my program to know that their training vehicle was once used by the
Bangor Police Department to protect our community.
If this might be a possibility for you to donate a vehicle to our program, I would like to discuss this with
you.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Allen Stehle
Beal College I You Can Do This
