MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT: August 2008 has brought with it the retirement of Daniel Halbur from the Milwaukee Police Department. Dan is a 28 year veteran who has spent the last 15 years being assigned to the motorcycle unit. For the past 8 years Dan has not only dedicated his time to serving the community as a police officer but also the membership of the MPA as a Steward and a Trustee. Dan was elected to the MPA Board during a time of change. Dan made an immediate impact on the MPA Board as brought with him not only experience but an unquestionable moral character. He was a part of a Board that has brought about many changes that will benefit both present and future members for years to come. During his tenure as an MPA Trustee he served as the chairman of several committees. As chairman of the Audit & Finance Committee he had the responsibility, along with the Secretary/Treasurer of safeguarding our Association’s finances. As chairman of the Building Committee he oversaw the purchase and the physical move into the MPA building along with its ongoing property management duties. As chairman of the Ways & Means Committee he was responsible for the MPA calendar, the recruit graduations, the monthly membership & steward meetings, and the huge task of running the Annual MPA Christmas Party. He accomplished all of this while being a motorcycle officer and more importantly a father and a husband. Those that know Dan know that he does not view what he has done as his making a sacrifice, he views it as just doing his job. His friends, which I am proud to be one of, call him Mountain Man for a number of reasons and I would like to add all of the above as another reason for that title. At the Stewards’ Meeting on Tuesday, August 12, 2008, Dan was presented with a Common Council resolution by Alderman Joe Dudzik which commended him for his many years of loyal service to the City of Milwaukee. He was also honored by the MPA and presented with a plaque for his dedication to this Association. So on behalf of myself, the MPA Board and its members I would like to wish Dan a long and happy retirement. Fraternally, John A. Balcerzak MPA President |
