Moraga Employee of the Month
Lieutenant Jeff Price was named the Moraga Employee of the Month for March, as announced by the Moraga Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Moraga. Price began work with the department in October of 1981 and is scheduled to retire this month after a distinguished career. In addition to patrol duties, Price has trained almost 45 new officers. "Jeff has been instrumental in our effort to keep Moraga safe over the years and he deserves a lot of credit for his fine service," said Moraga Police Chief Bob Priebe. "His work history has been exemplary in all facets and his retirement will be a huge void for our department." Price received a gift card to Safeway and a gift certificate to the Golden Palace restaurant at the Moraga Rotary luncheon held March 18.
