Federal and International March 9, 2009 Law Enforcement Agencies John F. Timoney Chief of Police, Miami Police Department 400 NW 2 Avenue, Room 419, Miami, FL 33128 Dear Chief Timon y: f I am writing to update you on exciting GILEE and ILEE developments. The enclosed 2008 program highlights and the 2008 sponsors booklet are truly indicative of GILEE's achievements and support. GILEE is an award-winning program whose accomplishments to date would not have been possible without your support, the support of our many sponsors including corporate partners, the law enforcement community, friends, GILEE graduates, host countries, and Georgia State University. GILEE & ILEE have a measurable impact and the demand for our programs continues to grow in Georgia, around the nation and overseas. In 2008 we carried out a record total of 15 programs and 2009 promises to be as busy! The Public Safety Partnerships endowment secures the program's future, but the annual yield currently provides only about 4% of the amount needed to maintain our programming level. Therefore, it is critical to have a successful fund-raising effort. Our goal for 2009 is to raise $500,000 for operating expenses. With the current challenging economy and the growing law enforcement needs, your support is more important than ever before. Please review the enclosed information and consider increasing your support of GILEE this year. Checks may be made payable to "Georgia State University Foundation." Credit cards are also accepted. I have attached the appropriate form (and envelope) for your convenience. You can also visit littp://www2,gsu.edu/—wwwgiv/give/online.html to give securely on-line (check "OTHER' and then type in: "for GILEE"). All gifts to GILEE through the Georgia State University Foundation are fully tax-deductible as provided by law. On behalf of GILEE and ILEE, thank you for your generosity and commitment to this program. Your support truly makes a difference. Judy Rich Vlnass Co-Uvmer, Eslate-OF•The An Georgia State University, a Ji. of the University System of Georgia, is an equal opportunity educational institution and is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Sincerely you s, J Robert R. Friedmann, Ph.D. Professor and Distinguished Chair of Public Safety Partnerships GILEE Founding Director
