This week's peak performance comes from Officer Rick Hill, assigned to Area 4 and based at Tates Creek High School. Officer Hill served as acting Sergeant last week and demonstrated leadership during a short-staffed period in his area. He took charge, and his dedication to students, staff, and families guided his hard work. Officer Hill consistently goes above and beyond, making him a trusted protector of the Tates Creek Campus.

This week's peak performance comes from Officer Adam Rader and Officer Donald Wilson, who are assigned to the Martin Luther King Academy. While this distinction is usually awarded to a single Officer, this week's team effort served as a force multiplier. School administration, FCPS Police, and other local law enforcement agencies operating with coordinated lines of effort produced amazing results. When faced with a complicated situation requiring investigative skills, emergency management, and leadership, these two Officers performed skillfully and led efforts to maximize safety. Tough times build tough teams, and this team performed with distinction.

Officer Rader and Officer Wilson's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you both!

This week's peak performance comes from Officer Jelinek, assigned to Lexington Middle School. Officer Jelinek has transitioned well into her new school this year and has quickly become part of its positive culture. Recently, Officer Jelinek led her school during a potentially unsafe situation and ensured the safety of students and staff in the building. Officer Jelinek has demonstrated this skill before and has proven her value in campus safety. While the follow-up investigation revealed the school was never in actual danger, her swift actions ensured safety was maintained no matter the circumstances.

Officer Jelinek's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Officer Jelinek!

This week's peak performance comes from Sgt. Alisa Scott, who leads Area 1 (Lafayette HS, Lexington Middle, and Jessie Clark Middle). Sgt Scott has developed a strong team by consistently demonstrating hard work, empathy, and dedication to her team over her own interests. Her dedication to service has not gone unnoticed, as she was nominated as an Honorary Captain (along with another outstanding FCPS Police officer to be recognized later) at the Lafayette High School Football Game last Friday night, September 11. This honor signifies her distinguished military service and her commitment to students, staff, and families. Her positive influence reaches many, and her commitment to safety sets the standard.

Sgt. Scott's commitment to this organization is outstanding. Thank you, Sgt. Scott!

This week's peak performance comes from Officer Sirrethia Fox, assigned to The Learning Center. When faced with online safety issues affecting her school, Officer Fox quickly and diligently conducted the investigation. Strong relationships and trust allowed Officer Fox to follow leads and other indicators leading to the source of the online concerns. Officer Fox's hard work, which lasted nearly a week and went through the holiday weekend, was above and beyond expectations. These efforts and vigilance focused on safety solidified her strong bonds with students, staff, and families.

Officer Fox's dedication to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Officer Fox!

This week's peak performance comes from Officer Gary Gruman, assigned to Frederick Douglass High School. Officer Gruman served as the acting sergeant last week of Area 6, which includes Mary Britton and Crawford Middle Schools. The transition to 3 Officers assigned to FDHS continues to stretch the high school Officers; however, Officer Grumann has made necessary adjustments while taking on the additional responsibility of leading Area 6. Officer Gruman has become a trusted part of the school culture and is relied upon by staff and students to provide safety and security on the FDHS campus.

Officer Gruman's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Officer Gruman!

This week's peak performance goes to Officer Stephen Milligan, assigned to Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. Officer Milligan was the acting Sergeant in Area 5 last week. He was also responsible for FTO duties for Officer Wilson, who is joining us from KSP. As one of three officers at PLD, Officer Milligan's duties have expanded, and he has handled this change with skill, consistently demonstrating a servant-leader attitude.

Officer Milligan's commitment to the department is outstanding. Thank you, Officer Milligan!

This week's peak performance comes from retired police officer and now part-time dispatcher Allen Wilford. Dispatcher Wilford adjusted his schedule this week to accommodate extra shifts during the busy first three days of school and helped successfully field numerous calls for service. In addition, while working his normal weekend shift, he was very proactive in assisting the Lexington Police Department and in informing our team about community events that could directly impact students, staff, and families. Dispatcher Wilford demonstrated great skill in his ability to communicate accurate and timely updates on specific neighborhood concerns.

Dispatcher Wilford's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Dispatcher Wilford!

This week's peak performance (now released on Mondays) comes from Officer Jeremy Day, assigned to Garden Springs Elementary. Officer Day created a unique and extremely challenging way to raise money to support back-to-school shopping for students who may not have this opportunity. He decided to walk over 50 miles to 29 different elementary schools as part of the inaugural Fayette 50: Miles for Smiles fundraiser. In return, donations were accepted through the Fayette Education Foundation to sponsor back-to-school shopping at Academy Sports here in Lexington. Starting at 0400 hours in the morning on July 23rd and not stopping until just after 2300 hours, Officer Day successfully carried out this large task. Officer Day set an aggressive goal of raising $10,000 for his efforts and ended up raising well over $12,000. This will allow over 60 FCPS students to shop this Saturday, August 15th, alongside FCPS Police officers for needed items. From inception to completion, Officer Day led the charge, and from his hard work, over 60 students will have a better start to the school year.

Officer Day's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Officer Day!
