Today’s Good News
Kudos
to Fourth Precinct Detective Todd
Perseghin who was named the Department’s Problem Solver of the Month for March! Detective Perseghin is the
type of detective who can’t stop once his interest in a case is piqued. Even
when he’s assigned several cases of his own, he still makes the time to
investigate others.
For example, last month he spoke with
two victims who reported a known associate had been forging checks from their
account. Thanks to Detective Perseghin’s methodical and detailed investigation,
he determined that more than $85,000 had been stolen and he’s now in the
process of working with banks to gather more evidence that will likely lead to
a substantial prosecution in Federal Court.
He also comes through for his fellow
detectives when they need help. Case in point: On March 18, detectives from a
nearby jurisdiction called RPD after they arrested several individuals for a
series of crimes because they knew RPD also had pending investigations.
However, the case detective was on vacation so Perseghin stepped up and
responded to interview the suspects. He spent his entire shift and more
interviewing the suspects and thanks to his efforts, he gathered enough
information to clear the two RPD crimes.
These are just some of the reasons
Detective Todd Perseghin is our Problem Solver of the Month for March! Thank
you and congratulations!
