Shakopee Special Project for County Court

Retention Hero stories differ from Shout Outs in that they showcase special things people do that make working at the DOC great.

By Truda Lovett

A judge in Wright County asked for an impossible task to be done. It required the work of Shakopee Case Manager - Paul Klemme, Shakopee Records - Nancy Steffens, Sentence Administration Unit - Julia Teich, Field Services OAS-I - Pauline Riehm, and myself. Even with two set-backs taking up time this dream team got it done in one day and on-time. This hard work was person-center based, so the client did not lose her housing or her place in treatment.

It was truly amazing to be a part of this team. Many entities of corrections were involved. Most of these people I have never met and most likely will never meet. I am truly grateful to work with such wonderful people in the DOC. Everyone of these people went above and beyond their jobs for this client and the Court on this day.
