Officer Jeremy Brown

Published: Oct. 24, 2016, 4 p.m.

Officer Jeremy Brown is an exceptional person and a dedicated officer who makes a profound difference in our community. Officer Brown is currently serving as a D.A.R.E officer to four elementary schools and the resource officer for Centerville Junior High. He works under the direction of the Detective Division, as such has been trained for crime scene investigation and he assists with cases as he is available.

Jeremy has also been given many additional assignments due to his wide range of talent and abilities. Because of his computer knowledge he has been tapped to assist with I.T. issues. He is the liaison between the Police Department and the July 4th Celebration Committee, as such he planned for all police resource deployments during the last two years. Jeremy has also taken on many different odd jobs like keeping up on our facebook page posts, gathering traffic related data, placement of the RADAR trailer around the city and other duties. I constantly hear praise from members of the public and from my own staff regarding Jeremy and his work.

Officer Brown is exceptional at observing how things are being done and coming up with better ways to do it. For example when he took on the RADAR trailer assignment he created it's own email address and then placed a message on the trailer advising the community how to request it. In Jeremy's office he maintains a list of all the tasks he has to complete with the time requested for completion and current status. I have heard from people that Jeremy always treats them good, makes sure that he follows up with them as needed, and has a great sense of humor. Jeremy has taken his assignment with the schools very seriously and I have been completely amazed at his work product. For example, during each school year at each of the many classes he teaches at the four elementary schools he puts together many activities and takes pictures of the kids. He then takes these pictures and puts together a very entertaining and wonderful presentation for each class which he gives at the D.A.R.E. graduation. I have sat in on his lessons and notice how the kids love him and observed how amazing he is with the kids.

After this years 4th of July celebration I was visited by the chairman of the committee who praised Jeremy up and down; I have heard the same type of praise from each of the schools that Jeremy works in.
