Officer and Employee of the Month – July 2019

Congratulations to our Officer of the Month, Warrant Officer Bryan McGee (27 years). Officer McGee was approached by a small child, approx. 2 years old, who appeared to be lost. Officer McGee picked up the child, notified Metro Police, and both units began combing through the neighborhood until they finally located the child’s home. Kudos Officer McGee!

Congratulations to our Employee of the Month, Case Manager Keyaiera Miller (7.5 years of service). Ms. Miller was nominated by her peers when she stopped to assist with an individual who she believed was contemplating suicide. Through conversation, she was right, and with two other good samaritans they were able talk the man down and wait with him until emergency response arrived.
