Jan. 14 – Jan. 15, 2014

Today’s Good News
Kudos to Officer Joseph Dillon who was named Second Precinct’s Officer of the Month for December! Officer Dillon’s attitude, motivation and enthusiasm play a huge part in his effective patrols. Last month, he responded to 93 radio calls, 16 self-initiated calls and assisted 15 other calls in addition to 15 walking hours of patrol.

This would explain why he is well known and trusted by residents in Sector 213. Officer Dillon frequently stops by businesses in order to get to know the business owners and employees. He also gives out robbery prevention tips to help with reducing crimes in the area and makes it a priority to be visible in his sector because he’s found it’s a good deterrent to quality of life issues such as prostitution and narcotics.

Late in the month, Officer Dillon was thanked for great police work by a commonwealth’s attorney when handling a domestic assault call that led to a conviction. Officer Dillon went the extra step and got a written statement from both the victim and witness, which the prosecutor said was key in getting a conviction. Thank you and congratulations Officer Joseph Dillon!
