Officer Robyn Gallion Employee of the Quarter In light of his unselfish and enduring efforts which led to La Porte Police Department’s most successful National Night Out event on record, La Porte Police Officer Robyn Gallion was nominated for, and is hereby recognized as, the 2011 th employee of the 4 quarter. As a Police Area Representative assigned to the Police Department’s Support Services Division, Officer Gallion was tasked with coordinating the overall festivities for the community’s October 4, 2011 National Night Out event. In this capacity, Officer Gallion acted as the Police Department’s primary liaison for the event, which hosted over 20 private and governmental entities, various City, County, and State dignitaries, and over 500 La Porte citizens. Additionally, by enlisting the help of the LaPorte Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association volunteers, Officer Gallion was able to coordinate a team-effort, using minimal amounts of on-duty police resources, by augmenting personnel needed to provide dozens of police department tours, emergency services displays and demonstrations, refreshments, and various neighborhood block parties throughout the City of La Porte. Robyn's efforts for National Night Out resulted in highest-attended and perhaps most enjoyable of La Porte Police Department’s public outreach events to date. In the broader sense, Officer Gallion’s performance in the Support Services Division is well above average and he is respected by his peers for his continual efforts. His learning capacity and desire for self-improvement appear to influence nearly every project he works on. He has natural public speaking ability and always interacts with the public in a positive way. Officer Gallion is generous with his time and consistently ensures that projects he is involved in are first-rate. While he has only been a member of the Support Services Division for 8 months, Officer Gallion shows great promise and demonstrates all of the characteristics needed to be an exceptional community service representative. As such, it is with great pride that the City of La Porte recognizes Officer Robyn Gallion as the City’s 2011 employee of the fourth quarter.
