May Partner: A Steady Presence, A Trusted Partner, and the Mission That Connects Them

Dear Friends,

The May 2025 issue of The Partner centers on what makes this mission real: trusted officers, enduring partnerships, and the support that keeps them connected.

We begin with Officer Daniel “Honest Dan” Sherlock, whose quiet leadership and steady presence in the 4th District have earned him the respect of both colleagues and community. Alongside him, we recognize the Hispanic Senior Center for its lasting connection with Second District officers and deep roots in the neighborhood it serves.

This issue also features our spring fundraising focus, with a renewed call for Friend memberships—a vital source of support for CPF wellness programs, officer recognition, and grassroots community outreach.

You’ll also find moments of reflection and momentum:

  • The CDP Honor Guard and Pipes & Drums representing Cleveland during National Police Week in Washington
  • A graduation salute to the 156th Academy Class
  • Dispatchers honored during Telecommunications Week
  • New CPF-supported community events happening all summer long—from cookouts to firehouse socials

Thank you for being part of the work that goes beyond the badge.
