  Letter of Commendation from President David Schecter. In the letter, he wrote:"I am so grateful for that kind of support, and I wanted you to know that Ashley did an outstanding job as our Acting Police Chief over several weeks of work. As Acting Chief, she:1)Met with Sheriff Jeffrey Brewer and Chief Deputy Nick Robertson of the Emanuel County Sheriff’s Office. Meetings were also held with Chief Randy Ellison of the Swainsboro Police Department and his Command Staff. Building bridges with these agencies is crucial and both agencies agreed to do more for the campus.2)Worked with campus HR on our hiring processes and did recruitment of several potential hires, including those from our current Sizemore Security officers who assist us now with campus housing security.3)Worked on emergency event planning with our senior staff to help improve our processes and communications.4)Met with the Judge over the Magistrate Court of Emanuel County to get new warrant processing templates for officers to use.5)Worked closely with two of our USG partner institutions, Middle Georgia and Georgia Southern, on campus coverage issues and the like.6)Attended a USG Clery Compliance meeting on our behalf.7)Developed a report for me when she left that outlined twelve specific recommendations the campus should consider for improving the public safety operations and I was very pleased that she took the time to do so.Ashley’s diplomacy and professionalism while at EGSC were terrific, she got along very well with everyone on our Cabinet, and it is obvious that she cares deeply about faculty, staff, and students. My thanks for your support of East Georgia State College, as well, in allowing her to help us during this critical period." Show less
