GUILFORD, CT – First Selectman Matt Hoey announced that Police Sergeant Jared Dillon has been named the Guilford Employee Recognition Award recipient.

Deputy Police Chief Sal Nesci, who nominated Dillon for the award, said Dillon has been with the Guilford Police Department since December 2014.

Hoey, who initiated the program, has encouraged all employees to nominate fellow employees to be recognized for outstanding achievement and performance in their work.

As a supervisor, Jared has demonstrated that he knows and understands the importance of value.”

Nesci said Dillon has improved employee morale, motivation, productivity and performance and volunteers for assignments that contemporize workflows, making the organization as operationally efficient and effective as possible.

“As a modern law enforcement leader, Jared knows that there must be high professional standards,” Nesci said. “Jared acknowledges that our success is predicated on our leadership abilities, who well we treat the community, and how well we treat each other. Moreover, Jared is a proficient communicator who strives to build trust, rapport and strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.”
