Nampa Optimist Club

     I would like to nominate officer Leonard Claunts of the Nampa Police Department for the Optimist Officer of the year.

     Officer Claunts has been a police officer with the PD since November of 1994. Officer Claunts is a patrol officer on the day watch at this time. Officer Claunts is a member of the Tactical Response Team and is a valued team leader.

     While Officer Claunts is not a ranking officer in the police department, his is nevertheless seen by other officers as a leader and a confidant.

     Officer Claunts is a great family man and a great officer.

     Thanks for the opportunity to nominate him.

                          Sincerely,

                          Bill Augsburger
                          Assistant Chief Operations
