TITLE
Resolution 2021-23 recognizing the retirement of CCSA Catherine A. Presley
from the Police Department.
SUMMARY
CCSA (Certified Crime Scene Analyst) Catherine Presley began her career with
the City of Winter Springs as a Communications operator on June 24, 1996.
During her career, she has held numerous assignments critical to the success
of the police department too extensive to list but her assignment as an
Evidence Technician in 2005 is where she has excelled. Among her numerous
job duties, CCSA Presley has been tasked with the oversight and control of the
department's Evidence Section and crime scene laboratory where they have
been impeccably maintained and used as a model for other agencies. Most
notably, she earned countless hours of advanced specialized training that
allowed her to become a Certified Crime Scene Analyst- a first for the police
department. As a further example of her commitment, she instructed both in
the Police Explorer Academy for years to help mentor young people in our
community and in our Citizens Police Academy to demonstrate to the
participants how these police department functions serve them. She has
been a model ambassador for the WSPD and her contributions will be
missed. CCSA Presley served this city with distinction and with honor for over
25 years and retired from service with the City of Winter Springs in August
2021 .
As is customary for long-tenured employees who have reached retirement
from service with the City, the Commission has desired to formally recognize
them for their service via presentation of a Resolution designed for this
purpose.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests the Commission review and approve Resolution 2021-23 to be
presented to CCSA Catherine Presley.
