I was honored to be able to go to the grave site of fallen Officer Jim Johnson and help tidy it up for Johnson family this Fall. Let us never waiver in our efforts to stay in touch with the family of a man who gave his life for ELPD!
I think the "extra" things that our department does (Shop with a Cop, PAL, ELPD Christmas with Santa, Haven House Christmas, Jim Johnson's grave maintenance, etc.) are what make ELPD a special place to work. We need to continue to encourage our employees to participate in these events, keeping in mind that they are busy with their lives as well. Sometimes, it helps the employee to reward them with comp time.
Maybe we should discuss what do we value about ELPD? I kind of think our department is more professional than other depts and value that.

ReplyDeleteI think it's important to keep the department's awards that are held every January. Definitely keep the Board of Awards!!
