Please join us in congratulating Sergeant Robert Thompson on his recent graduation from the Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership Institute (SLI)!

SLI is an intensive, eight month leadership program designed specifically for California law enforcement supervisors. The POST certified program challenges participants to grow as leaders through an emphasis on ethical decision making, emotional intelligence, communication, and navigating the complex challenges facing today’s law enforcement leaders.

Completing SLI requires a significant commitment of time, effort, and reflection, both professionally and personally. Sergeant Thompson’s graduation represents not only an accomplishment for him, but an investment in the leadership and future of our department.

Congratulations, Sergeant Thompson, on this well earned achievement!

Greetings to residents of the Ambrose Recreation and Park District!

I am honored to have been appointed as a Director of our Ambrose Park District. We are fortunate at Ambrose to have outstanding staff, management and Board members, whom I love to work with.

My family has called this place home for over 25 years. During that time I have served the public as a Pittsburg Planning Commissioner and Chairman, for 9 years, as MDUSD bond committee member, for 7 years, and as the Sponsor and Director of Pittsburg Challenger Little League for 6 years.

During my time on the Ambrose Park board, the Park District has done some amazing projects benefiting public health through different events, sports programs AND advance planning to enable Ambrose community center to be a resilience hub during emergencies.

From the Ambrose Pool to the Ambrose Community Center and 11 other parks our Recreation & Park District offers great facilities and programs to the West Pittsburg/Bay Point area.

I am excited to continue my service to the park board and this community. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and or concerns about Ambrose.

Cheers!
