The following poem was presented at the CPA-VI Graduation on
5-12-2003
By: Class President, Dan Young
Time had passed and it slipped my mind of the survey I had filled
out;
Until I had a message that the police had called and I was to give a
shout.
My dog wasn't barking and I had no tickets which to pay.
What did the police want with dear old innocent me that day?
A reminder it was of tomorrow's class to which I had earlier signed;
An experience that for future years will not as easily slip my mind.
At first twenty-some strangers filled the room with no rapport;
Minutes later we were in a cruiser heading for the station door.
Many adventures we shared, many friendships were made, and many a
places we went,
Covering everything from where the prisoners slept to how much the
government spent!
Miami Township we learned from those who are concerned is really
quite unique;
If you have not taken the time to learn its design I urge you to
take a peek.
The police station is one of the best in the nation keeping us safe
and sound;
Using many tools from hi-tech gadgets to their low-tech
drug-sniffing hound.
You may think our cozy township is immune to the world's problems
and plight;
It seems that way because both night and day our police force is
winning the fight.
They teach our children by day the danger of drugs and keep
terrorists out of sight;
So many things that they selflessly do not always see so we can
sleep well at night!
Peace of mind may be best defined by knowing that every day;
A force of fire and rescue crew are always three digits away.
Fortunately for our community we don't have a township that relaxes;
Now let us go so we can show the public what they're getting for
their taxes.
Thank you from the CPA to everyone who dedicated their time and
energy;
And to a Chief and his staff who understand the meaning of
community!
