Purpose:
To announce the selection of Officer Toan Nguyen as the Natick Police Department's Officer of the Year for 2009.
Officer Toan Nguyen was appointed a police officer by the Board of Selectmen and was graduated from the Municipal Police Academy at Boylston in January, 2007. Since then, Officer Nguyen has been assigned to the Operations Division in Patrol Services both on the midnight to eight and the four to twelve shifts. Throughout his brief tenure on this department, Officer Nguyen has consistently demonstrated an extraordinarily impressive work ethic, evidenced by his having been named the department's employee of the month on two occasions. Officer Nguyen performs even the most difficult tasks in a calm and confident manner, beyond traditional expectations for officers with relatively minimal experience in patrol operations. Officer Nguyen consistently
delivers a work product that is high quality, seldom requiring follow-up corrections. His investigations are thorough and his reports are a clear and concise description of the incident being investigated, allowing follow-up investigators to begin their investigation where his preliminary investigation left off without having to retrace steps to gain an understanding of the events that transpired. While on patrol, his success in discovering suspects wanted for previously committed crimes is enhanced by his particularly keen observational skills while patrolling his assigned area. Additionally, Officer Nguyen has not used any sick leave during the entire 2008 calendar year, further evidence of his strong work ethic and sense of responsibility for his profession.
During the background phase of Officer Nguyen's application process, investigators were impressed with the positive comments that were pervasive in statements from employers and peers while an active member of the U.S. Marine Corps., as well as those from civilian employers and friends. Officer Nguyen has carried over his exemplary military bearing, work ethic, impeccable appearance, and sense of duty to his responsibilities as a police officer in the Town of Natick. His service thus far with the Town of Natick reflects credit on himself and the Natick Police Department.
It is therefore with great pleasure that I announce the selection of Officer Toan Nguyen as the Natick Police Department Officer of the Year for 2009.

Per order:
Dennis R. Mannix
Chief of Police
