Shout Out: Officer Kautz

By Anonymous

Officer Kautz started in late 2018. After Officer Kautz graduated from both Academy and Field Training, I had the benefit of observing Officer Kautz develop on First Watch. Officer Kautz displayed, at that time, characteristics the agency hopes for all newer officers to possess. Characteristics like motivation, open mindedness, maturity, as well as treating the incarcerated population in a firm, fair, and consistent manner.

Presently, Officer Kautz works in Segregation on Third Watch. Officer Kautz has been working in Segregation for quite some time now. It is quite common to find her training newer officers, assisting others with daily unit necessitates, and taking the role of Officer in Charge on days the Sergeant isn't present. Officer Kautz assists greatly with keeping Segregation punctual even on the evenings the facility is found more active with incidents.

Officer Kautz routinely presents herself, the agency as well, in a professional manner. Officer Kautz's uniform is found squared away and pressed. It is easy to observe that when Officer Kautz talks to the Incarcerated Population it is done in a respectful and interpersonal manner. Officer Kautz still possesses the same characteristics as when she started, years later. Officer Kautz sets a good example for all to look up to on Third Watch.
