Dean Welter, Novato Police Department

2008 Northern Chapter Treasurer

Dean is currently the Dispatch Supervisor with the Novato Police Department.  Dean's law enforcement adventure began in 1982 as a Records clerk with the same agency.  Six months later he was promoted to Dispatcher.  In 1986, he was the first Senior Dispatcher for the agency and then reclassified to "Dispatch Supervisor" in 1992.  Dean supervises a dispatch staff of nine.  All computer inquiries for his agency are completed by the Dispatch staff.

Dean's first CCUG experience was at the annual conference in South San Francisco many years ago.  After this experience, he frequently attended quarterly training meetings and annual conferences.  Dean waited patiently for his opportunity to become involved at the Board level with CCUG and currently accepted the Northern Chapter Treasurer position.  He looks forward to contributing back to CCUG.

Dean is married with two sons.  His interests outside of work includes playing ice hockey and is an avid San Jose Sharks fan!  When finding ways to relax, an island  beach is his preferable destination.
