CSUPD recognizes its staff
Wednesday evening the CSU Police Department took time to
recognize both its staff and civilians in an annual award
ceremony.
“Choosing who did the best of the best is hard to do,” said
CSUPD Capt. Bob Chaffee, who received a mentoring award at
Wednesday’s ceremony. “We very easily could have recognized
everyone in our department. I think they are probably some of the
most committed and hardest working law enforcement officers in the
state.”
Chaffee, who had been with CSUPD 27 years in January, certainly
appreciated his award from Wednesday.
“It’s always a privilege and a pleasure when your staff
recognizes that you put almost everything in you into your job,”
Chaffee said. “It’s kind of humbling, to be honest.”
Many within CSUPD share Chaffee’s sentiments about the
commitment of the staff, including Budget Administrator Cindy
Boham. Boham received an award for outstanding performance.
“I think they’re all great, that’s really what makes this
department,” said Boham, who has been with CSUPD for 16 years. “I
think they are truly dedicated, the people who have been here lots
of years have achieved many things.”
Among the top awards given were five for Employee of the Year,
which were awarded to civilian Roswitha Stuckwisch, campus safety
officer Jon Paul Matzke, student officer Christopher Robertson,
officer Darren Martinez and officer Jason Meisner. Awards were
granted for longevity, outstanding performance, department
commendation, mentoring, double duty, community service, physical
fitness, and pride and professionalism.
Joan Williams, records manager for CSUPD, has been with the
department for 15 years and still considers herself relatively
new.
“The employees tend to be very stable; 15 years isn’t that
much,” Williams said. “I love them. We’re like a family, we really
are, we can count on each other for anything.”
