Today’s Good News
Kudos to Fourth Precinct Detective John Walker who was named the
Department’s Problem Solver of the Month
for January! Detective Walker’s dedication to the job is more than just
investigating and solving the cases directly assigned to him. He pays attention
to the crime trends in his precinct and follows up diligently to find the one
break that cracks the case open.
That’s exactly what happened last
month when he noticed a spike in burglaries in Sector 411. Detective Walker
responded to a burglary to help process the scene and recovered numerous
fingerprints, which he turned over to Forensics. He stayed in close contact
with Forensics until they came up with a positive match, and he quickly
followed up with the suspect. With the help of the FMT Tactical Unit, they
arrested and charged the man with several burglaries.
But he didn’t stop there. Thanks to
his solid investigation, he cleared three other burglary investigations because
of his hard work. Thank you and congratulations Detective John Walker!
