8/1/2008
Johns Creek Police Crime Scene Technician Tanesha Taylor was selected as the Department's first "Officer of the Quarter" at an August 1 awards luncheon.
"She was chosen for her dedication and her entire job performance. It [her performance] went way above the call," said Johns Creek Police Chief Ed Densmore.
Taylor, 31, holds a B.S. in Biology from Clark Atlanta University and an Associate Degree in Funeral Science from Gupton-Jones College. She served 3 years with the Armed Forces DNA lab and as a crime scene technician with the police departments of Alpharetta, Ga., and Gwinnett County, Ga.
"I'm very grateful for this recognition from my supervisors. I respect them for their leadership. I will continue to strive to meet the challenge of the job," said Taylor.
BB&T Bank at 11145 State Bridge Road in Johns Creek is the sponsor of the JCPD officer awards program and is also sponsoring a similar program for the Johns Creek Fire Department, following its fall 2008 launch.
"Part of BB&T's mission is to make the communities in which we live better places to be and I can't imagine anyone who exemplifies that better than our own Johns Creek Police Department," said Deborah Hicks, Vice President/Financial Center Manager. "It is our pleasure to help honor them in this way."
