Today’s Good News
Kudos
to Officer Steven Gibson who was
named Third Precinct’s Officer of the
Month for December! Officer
Gibson likes to stay busy and proactive so it was likely that solid work ethic that
helped him make a quick arrest when he responded to a robbery call at a
Rite-Aid on Jahnke Road last month. After hearing the suspect description,
Officer Gibson searched the area, spotted the suspect and after a short foot
pursuit, quickly took him into custody. After the victims identified the
suspect, Officer Gibson was also able to recover all the items stolen in the
robbery and obtain a full confession. He passed the information to detectives,
who were then able to charge the suspect with robbery.
The robbery victims told Officer
Gibson’s supervisors how appreciative they were for his actions and
professionalism and said they felt saver knowing he was patrolling the area
where they work.
Officer Gibson has also had a positive
impact in the community by conducting outdoor roll calls during which he also
takes the time to speak with residents about crime trends and explain what the
department is doing to help deter the crimes. Thank you and congratulations
Officer Steven Gibson!
