This week's peak performance comes from Officer Serena Sandusky, assigned to Bryan Station High School. Officer Sandusky maintains positive relationships as an officer and as the BSHS girls' varsity head basketball coach. When asked to lead the department's awards committee, Officer Sandusky performed exceptionally. Leadership is in her nature, and her heart is with students, staff, and families. This shows every time she sets foot in the school or on the basketball court.

Officer Sandusky's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Officer Sandusky!

This week's peak performance comes from Sergeant John Stanko, who supervises Area 5 and is based at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. Sgt Stanko leads his team by example, emphasizing consistent professionalism and dedication to safety for students and staff. Recently, Sgt. Stanko has helped develop ALERRT training platforms for the department in ways we have not previously implemented. The culmination of his efforts will take place this summer, followed by an ALERRT training session at the district's mandatory professional development day in August. Maximizing efficiency and using resources to the fullest are hallmarks of his leadership and his commitment to serving others.

Sgt Stanko's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Sergeant Stanko!

This week's peak performance comes from Sgt Brandon Blair, who supervises Area 9. Sgt Blair works a shift from 1200-2000 hours, well after everyone else has ended their shift. He receives multiple complicated calls for service, often involving students and families in crisis. He always provides comfort and care to students and families, and investigates the case to determine whether further police action is warranted. In addition, Sgt Blair leads his team of officers at FCPS program schools while balancing after-hours calls for service that often run well past his scheduled shift end.

Sgt. Blair's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Sgt. Blair!

This week's peak performance comes from Officer Sirrethia Fox, assigned to the Learning Center. Officer Fox has embraced her role as a mentor and trusted adult in the building. She serves with a students-first mentality that frames her work ethic, which extends well beyond the school day. When Officer Fox arrives on campus, students, staff, and families look to her for a smile and trusted guidance on whatever situation they are facing. Her consistent acts of service are valuable, align with the school's culture, and reflect a deep-rooted commitment to student achievement.

Officer Fox's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Officer Fox!

The week's peak performance comes from Officer Kiali Jelinek, assigned to Lafayette High School. Officer Jelinek's presence in the building goes beyond any expectations. She is often the first trusted adult whom students in crisis encounter. Her ability to swiftly assess a student's safety and connect them to needed supports is one of many tasks she performs daily. The trusted relationships Officer Jelinek has established with staff, students, and families are built on confidence, reliability, and her commitment to serving the best interests of the students.

Officer Jelinek's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Officer Jelinek!

This week's (or maybe last week's) peak performance comes from Officer Jeremy Moore assigned to Tates Creek High School. During a very intense threat of danger at Tates Creek Middle School, Officer Moore responded within minutes to assess and take appropriate action. Utilizing his ability to investigate and his ability to build positive connections with students, Officer Moore gained valuable information on a particular threat that posed a danger to the school. Without hesitation, he took action and safely resolved the situation, eliminating any danger to the campus. This type of immediate action is not uncommon for Officer Moore; he maintains operational readiness and thinks well beyond most situations to provide safety.

Officer Moore's commitment to this department is outstanding. Thank you, Officer Moore!

This week's peak performance comes from Officer Jeremy Day assigned to Garden Springs Elementary and James Lane Allen Elementary. While these schools share Officer Day, his positive impact on students, staff, and families is full-time. He has successfully integrated into both schools' culture and solidified his position as a trusted protector. Many times, Officer Day has gone above and beyond to provide resources and support for students and families in crises. His hard work extends well beyond his assigned shift and includes after-hours calls to meet the needs of students and families, as well as coordinating immediate safety.

Officer Days' commitment to his department is outstanding. Thank you, Officer Day!
