Dave Jeffries, a former Novato police captain who had a key role at the Marin Emergency Radio Authority, died at his home in Rohnert Park. He was 63.

The Novato City Council honored Mr. Jeffries during its meeting on Tuesday. A crowd of people, many of them uniformed police and fire personnel from across the North Bay, gathered at the council chambers.

“We are grateful for his time with us and we acknowledge his sacrifice of time with his family to serve others,” Mayor Mark Milberg said.
