Employee of the Quarter

Additionally, in keeping with the spirit of providing a quality work environment, the department has established an "Employee of the Quarter" program to recognize those employees that make the department a better place to work.

The employee of the quarter is open to any member of the department.

Any member of the department or citizen may nominate an employee for the honor by completing an Employee of the Quarter Nomination. The completed form shall be forwarded to the Office of the Chief of Police. Selection of the award winner shall be made by the Chief of Police and the Division Deputy Chiefs.
The criteria considered when nominating and selecting the candidate shall be: loyalty, superior performance, initiative, influence on the morale of fellow employees or the community, creativity/resourcefulness and a demonstrated commitment to the mission and values of the Department.
In order for a nomination to be considered, it must be submitted by the 5th day of the new quarter (i.e. January, April, July, October).

The candidate selected for the employee of the quarter award shall receive a certificate from the Department documenting the award. The recipient shall also have a reserved parking space in the department parking lot for the next calendar quarter where he/she can park their personal vehicle.
