We’ll take a short break today from Barbara’s usual household tips and post congratulations to her son, Kevin, who received a Letter of Appreciation from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Police for outstanding performance in a difficult situation that arose as he was working as a security guard a at a University Hospital facility early this month.  As the Letter states:

MEMORANDUM

TO:                Guardsmark Security Offier Kevin Harris

FROM:          FTO James B. Granade

SUBJECT:    Letter of Appreciation

On Saturday, 12/05/2009, at approximately 0225 hours, Security Officer Kevin Harris was conducting a foot patrol of the Callahan Eye Foundation Hostpital, and overheard a disturbance on the first floor of the building.  Security Officer Harris acted swiftly in responding to the area to investigate the disturbance.  Upon arrival, Security Officer Harris encountered a male and female who were having a domestic dispute, and quickly assessed the situation and alerted the UAB Police Department  of a possible domestic violence incident.  Security Officer Harris maintained control of the situation until arrival of the UAB Police, and gave a detailed account of events leading up to the arrest of the male subject for domestic violence and possession of drug paraphenalia.  The professionalism and attention to detail by Security Officer Harris ensured the safety of all visitors and staff at the Callahan Eye Foundation Hospital, and for that I would like to say thank you for a job well done.

Sincerely,

James B. Granade

Field Training Officer

Well done and congratulations to Kevin–we are all very proud of you!
