Today’s Good News
Kudos
to Communications Officer Robin Pierce
who was named the Department’s
Communications Officer of the Month for July! A veteran communications officer,
CO Pierce handles multiple calls for service with pose and professionalism;
even those that one might argue aren’t her responsibility.
One such
call occurred early last month when a Maryland woman was traveling to France with
her dog and learned at the last minute that the dog required a stamp from a
federal agency based in Richmond before it could travel. Though the women
overnighted the paperwork and tried to reach the agency by phone, all the lines
seemed out of order so they called the Department’s non-emergency number to see
if something major was going on in the city.
After
explaining the situation to CO Pierce, CO Pierce located a phone number to help
them reach the appropriate staff at the federal agency, and also followed up
with the women to verify that they were able to get through. The woman’s
neighbor wrote a very kind thank you to CO Pierce that reads in part:
“Thanks to
Communications Officer Pierce, my neighbor was able to get the traveling
authorization documents on time for her flight. Communications officers and
police officers who are aware of the public’s needs, and understand the
importance of the canine family members, and who successfully, professionally
and gracefully resolve the situation affecting those in need are to be
recognized. Thank you.”
