Kudos
to Officer Stephen Butler who was
named First Precinct’s Officer of the
Month for October! Officer
Butler may be known for his constant smile and outgoing personality, but he’s
also known for his dedication to combating violent crime in Sector 113. Despite changing schedules last month, he made 10 felony arrests,
8 misdemeanors arrests, served 14 warrants, seized 2 firearms and made several
drugs arrests.
He constantly
works to keep himself familiar with all the citizens he encounters, which paid
off during a patrol in the Fairfield area one day. He approached a group of
individuals standing in the middle of the road and when man intentionally
turned his body, Officer Butler investigated further and discovered a hidden
firearm with a laser sight. Further investigation revealed the man was a
convicted robber. He was quickly arrested and charged. Officer Butler also takes the time to attend community meetings to
develop relationships and keep citizens aware of what’s going on in their
neighborhoods. He brings back information about problems to his lieutenant so
issues can be addressed. Thank you and congratulations Officer Stephen Butler!
