Administrative Assistant Karen Lawton Selected as the Employee of the Quarter
As Chief of Police, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Administrative Assistant Karen Lawton has been selected as the Hollis Police Department Employee of the Quarter, for the 3rd quarter of 2020 (July 1st through September 30th).
In October 2018, I was delighted to offer employment to Karen as a member of the Hollis Police Department. Although Karen and I worked together in a different capacity for the Hudson Police Department, I knew she was a person of sound work ethic and someone who performed their duties with professionalism, dedication, and in accordance with the highest standards.
Almost immediately, Karen became a trusted and valued member of our team of incredible public servants. She is a consummate professional and a dedicated, hardworking, and reliable employee. She does so much, often times outside the view of many, to keep this agency functioning. Whether she is managing her daily tasks as an Administrative Assistant, or dealing with the multitude of other tasks dumped on her desk each and every day, she approaches her job and responsibilities with grace and optimism. Moreover, she is always willing to go above and beyond for any of our team members, and her positive attitude and kindness is infectious. Karen has certainly added so much to our agency, and we should and can all feel fortunate to have her as a member of our team.
For this, and many other reasons, I am proud to recognize Administrative Assistant Karen Lawton as the Employee of the Quarter. Karen’s continued professionalism, dedication to duty, and contributions to our agency and the Hollis community reflect great credit upon herself and the Hollis Police Department as a whole. Karen can and should also take immense pride in knowing that she was nominated for this recognition by three different employees.
Karen, I THANK YOU, from me and so many others!
Very Respectfully,
Joseph R. Hoebeke
Chief of Police
