Oct. 8 – Oct. 9, 2013

Today’s Good News
Kudos to Officer Robert Taylor who was named Second Precinct’s Officer of the Month for September! “Big Country”--as one citizen calls Officer Taylor—knows how to talk to people and treat them right.  He certainly did that last month when he responded to 151 calls for service and assisted on 55 calls. He also partnered with his fellow sector officers to conduct several community roll calls along Jeff Davis and Ruffin Road as well as several foot patrols and truancy sweeps. His goal is to interact with citizens, identify neighborhood problems and arrest those causing the problem.

Officer Taylor always takes great pride in being a field training officer and teaching the new officers how to do their job in the best, safest and most efficient manner. During the month, he and his recent Academy graduate, Officer Raymond Misegades made several good arrests together of a copper theft suspect, a burglary suspect and a domestic assault suspect who attempted to hide in the woods. Thank you, and congratulations Officer Taylor!
