Bonita Springs declares May 15-22 2025 as National Police Week

The Bonita Springs City Council convened on May 21, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including proclamations honoring community service and law enforcement.

The meeting began with a proclamation recognizing the Coast Guard Auxiliary for their dedication to boating safety. A representative expressed gratitude for the acknowledgment, highlighting the Auxiliary's commitment to public education and outreach, which included over 10,000 volunteer hours in the past year. Their focus remains on ensuring that residents and visitors can safely enjoy the area's beautiful boating environment.

Following this, Deputy Mayor Jesse Purdon read a proclamation designating May 15 through May 22, 2025, as National Police Week in Bonita Springs. This proclamation honored the courage and dedication of law enforcement professionals, particularly the Bonita Springs Community Police Unit and the Lee County Sheriff's Office. The proclamation emphasized the vital role these officers play in maintaining community safety and fostering trust among residents.

The council then moved on to the consent agenda, where a motion to approve was made and seconded. A roll call vote followed, with all council members, including Mayor Gibson, voting in favor of the motion.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to recognizing the contributions of both volunteer organizations and law enforcement in enhancing community safety and well-being. Further actions and discussions are anticipated in future meetings as the council continues to address community needs.
