CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION COMMENDING OFFICER RONALD PETROCCHI.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of South San
Francisco has received from Chief John Fabbri a report and
recommendation regarding'meritorious perfOrmance of duty
by Officer Ronald Petrocchi, and
WHEREAS, the Chief of Police cites the following facts
in sUpport thereof:
"On April 4, 1989, while Officer PetrocChi was in
the Bank of America, South San Francisco Branch,
off duty, conducting his own private banking, a
felony was committed by one Timothy Edward Norman.
It was brought to Officer Petrocchi's attention that
the suspect was fleeing from the Bank and was pos-
sibly being pursued~by another member of this Depart-
ment. Disregarding his off duty status and ~afety
for himself, Officer Petrocchi pursued the fleeing,
armed felOn. The responsible subject was chased
for approximately two blocks and was tackled by
0ffieer Petrocchi. The suspect was disarmed and
taken into custody.
"During the pursuit, another Department member,
involved in the chase, was preparing to fire shots
to stop the flight of the responsible. The actions
of Officer Petrocchi in overtaking the fleeing sus-
pect obviated the necessity of discharging firearms
during da~ight~hours where numerous citizens were
present, which prevented a dangerous situation from
developing."
WHEREAS, the City Council, therefore, desires to commend
Officer Ronald Petrocchi for meritorious performance of duty;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of South San Francisco that said Council does hereby
commend Officer Ronald Petrocchi for meritorious performance
of duty on April 4, 1989, as hereinbefore recited-and does
further commend to the attention of the citizens of this
community the actions of Officer Petrocchi which were in
keeping with the high traditions of the South San Francisco
Police Department.
