A Message of Thanks from the Chief of Police

March 9, 2011

Dear Citizens:

On February 17, 2011, Sergeant Adam Rosenthal passed away as the result of a vehicle crash.  Adam’s death was a huge loss to the Delray Beach Police Department and all of its members, but his service to the community, goodness, compassion, sense of humor and life achievements will always be remembered. 

On behalf of the Delray Beach Police Department, I would like to thank the Delray Beach community for the support shown to our officers and employees during the very difficult time after Adam’s death.  Your support, kind words, cards and letters about Adam have been comforting and helpful in the healing process.  It is nice to know that our members are loved and respected by so many.

The monetary donations and heartfelt condolences from so many people, not just from Delray Beach, but throughout the country, have been overwhelming, and we are so grateful for the kindness and generosity.  I would like you to know that the men and women of the Delray Beach Police Department truly appreciate your support and expressions of sympathy.     

It is an honor and a privilege to serve the citizens of Delray Beach, and it is our mission to continue to serve and protect our community with professionalism and respect. 

Your continued thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

Chief Anthony W. Strianese
