Employee of the Month



Employee of the Month   


Purpose


To announce the selection of Officer Sean Munger as the Natick Police Department Employee of the Month for June 2008.


Citation


Officer Sean Munger’s excellence in making important observations provides important intelligence and other information useful to other officers throughout the department. Below are a few of Officer Munger’s observations that may lead to solving reports of breaks, larcenies, and property damage

·       On the morning of Monday, June 2, 2008, Officer Munger was dispatched to a call in reference to a break and entering of a motor vehicle.  Officer Munger immediately began checking the surrounding area for the suspect. A short time later, he located a person fitting the suspect’s description on Second Street in the town of Framingham.   

·       On the morning of Friday, June 13, 2008, Officer Munger was patrolling the Natick Village when his attention was drawn to a suspicious motor vehicle parked next to an unoccupied vehicle that had a GPS unit clearly visible from outside the vehicle. By the time Officer Munger turned around to investigate further, the suspicious vehicle had fled the scene.  Upon informing the Natick Village Security Officer on duty about this vehicle, Officer Munger was told that the same vehicle has been observed fleeing the scene every time it is approached by a marked Natick Village Security vehicle.  

·       On the morning of Thursday, June 19, 2008, Officer Munger noticed smoke coming out of the Stern’s Variety store on Pond Street.  If not for his observations on this morning, the fire could have caused even more damage to the surrounding properties.  His actions were reported repeatedly by the media who stated that an on-duty officer reported the fire.
