TITLE
Promotion Ceremony-Captain Kevin Presley
SUMMARY
I am pleased to recognize one of my command staff officers being promoted to
Deputy Chief. Captain Presley started his career in 1995, serving the residents of
Winter Springs. Over these last twenty-eight years, Kevin has had an unblemished
career. From 1995 to 2009, Kevin's path has taken him from being a patrol officer,
undercover narcotics officer, patrol lieutenant, criminal investigations lieutenant, and
professional standards lieutenant. In 2009, he was promoted to Captain. Since, Kevin
has supervised at the command level the Professional Standards Division, Operations
Bureau, and Criminal Investigations Bureau and is currently serving as the Support
Services Bureau Commander. Furthermore, Kevin was a founding member of our
agency's SWAT team, where he spent 20 years conducting hundreds of high-risk
operations. After those twenty years, Kevin retired from the team as the teams' SWAT
commander.
Throughout his career, Kevin has been the recipient of numerous awards. These
include two life-saving awards, two police duty medals, two chiefs awards of
excellence, two-time recipient of the investigator of the year, five separate unit
citations, and a meritorious action award. Furthermore, Kevin graduated from the
prestigious Southern Police Institutes, Command Officer Development Course.
Throughout his tenure, Captain Presley has developed a positive relationship with the
community and members of the agency and has shown to be a great asset to the
police department and the city of Winter Springs. I do not doubt that Captain Presley
will be successful with this new venture. Please help me congratulate and welcome
Deputy Chief Kevin Presley.
