…especially to me. Although I am proud of him all the time, he is always willing to go the extra mile. I love him and he loves me and that’s the way it will always be.

Subject: Employee of the Month – February 2016 Importance: High

Congratulations to Detective A A for being chosen by staff to be the Employee of the Month for February 2016. You are being recognized for displaying great perseverance and determination in a missing person’s case that was originally from Oklahoma and involved a juvenile female who had started an on-line relationship with a 28-year-old male from Thornton.

Upon speaking to the juvenile’s parents, Detective AA obtained information that the mother and missing female were speaking over Facebook messages and verified that she was at a location believed to be within the City of Thornton. It was first thought that the juvenile was at the house of the mother to the male suspect. Upon speaking with the parents again, he had the mother ask for landmarks around where the female was staying and found out there was a 7-11 near the residence she was staying at. It was then (he) figured out that the (suspect’s) mother’s residence was near a 7-11. Upon initial contact at the residence the female occupant refused to let officers in and her story didn’t match up. After that a message from the juvenile was sent to the mother stating the police had been at the house she was located in and a search warrant was executed. The missing female was found inside the residence and reunited with her family.

Congratulations again on your well-deserved recognition.
