Police Officer of the Month

Police Officer David Aronovic was selected by Chief William McMahon as the Police Officer of the Month for June. Since completing field training in February, Aronovic’s production and motivation have been consistently high, identifying him as one of the hardest workers on his platoon.

Throughout June, Aronovic handled 70 calls, filing 47 reports and handling another 13 through self-initiated field work. He also averaged more than four written citations per shift. Aronovic arrested three drunk drivers in June, which potentially saved lives, in addition to the six other criminal arrests he made through excellent, pro-active police work.

The high point of Aronovic’s work throughout the month occurred June 15, when a traffic stop for a suspended registration turned into a seizure of more than 430 pounds of marijuana valued at $500,000. Working almost 24 hours straight, Aronovic assisted detectives with the follow-up investigation, which included search and seizure warrants in other jurisdictions. He also joined the chief in a news conference the afternoon after the stop, as the story had generated significant media interest.

Aronovic’s professionalism, demeanor and readiness to volunteer for whatever task needs to be done have created a great impression with both his peers and supervisors early in his career. Congratulations to Police Officer Aronovic on an outstanding performance during the month of June.
