June 26 – June 27, 2014

Today’s Good News
Kudos to Third Precinct Sergeant Anthony Papaleo who was named the Department’s Sergeant of the Month for May! Sergeant Papaleo displays many of the great qualities of a leader such as finding good ways to motivate his officers, leading from the front and taking the time to mentor younger officers.

He often attends neighborhood meetings to hear residents’ complaints and then encourages his officers to come up with the best ways to address the issues. Two such initiatives have reduced burglaries, boosted employee morale and taught officers about conducting surveillance.

However, one of Sergeant Papaleo’s biggest accomplishments was the conclusion of a three-month investigation during which he took the lead to find and identify several victims in an unlawful filming case. When another law enforcement agency couldn’t make contact with one of the victims, Sergeant Papaleo and another officer drove to another state and worked with local law enforcement to have the victim identify herself and help justify several of the pending charges. The end result was a 19-felony-count indictment against the offender! Thank you and congratulations to Sergeant Papaleo!
