Employee Spotlight

Officer of the Quarter

The Criminal Investigations Division nominates PFC Matthew Brennan for Officer of the Quarter, for his hard work on a burglary case, which lead to the recovery of stolen property and a firearm. 

A previous shift had handled a burglary, in which thousands of dollars of property had been stolen. PFC Brennan later responded to a nearby hotel and discovered security footage, which showed the suspect entering the location with the stolen property. Through assistance of outside law enforcement, the suspect was located and arrested. A subsequent search warrant was written by PFC Brennan, and served on the vehicle. This resulted in the recovery of additional items, as well as a loaded firearm. 

PFC Brennan showed extraordinary initiative and was able to bring a close to the case. Additionally, having never written a search warrant, PFC Brennan quickly learned what he needed to do and took the initiative to write the warrant himself.
