Letter of Commendation:
Officer Meyer:
Officer Meyer, I want to formally commend you on your recent work, while conducting a recent Burglary/Theft investigation to our Local Cenex business. Your attention to detail, covering all of the elements of the crime, and working with several other agencies was top notch. The extra hours spent being through was noticed. Positive identification of a suspect and obtaining an extraditable warrant to bring the individual to justice, is excellent work, job well done.
Other Officers and agency administrators, including the District Attorney’s Office have verbally advised me of your excellent work. I especially appreciate you keeping me updated along the way, even though I was out of town, I was left feeling very confident that you had all the bases covered. Once again great job Officer Meyer, It pleases me to see and have watched you become an excellent Officer with your training and experience growing every day. Keep up the great work.
This letter will be placed into your personnel file for record, presented at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting, and be sent to Chief Stuart of Minong, your primary employer of record.
David M. Wilson
Chief of Police
