The Mobile Police Department honors Martha Barton with the Civilian Employee of the Year Award. Barton is extremely instrumental in the everyday operation of the Fourth Precinct. She exceeds the work requirements expected of an office assistant.
Barton requires little to no supervision and is always ready with providing any information from the precinct commander, precinct supervisors and all officers working on an assigned project. During 2017, she demonstrated her ability to go above and beyond to ensure the precinct runs smoothly. Barton routinely is at work early and has all paperwork ready each day prior to supervisor arrival. She has it sorted by importance and prepared for review.
Additionally, Barton provides management support to the community resource officers who work at the precinct front desk. Prior to becoming an office assistant, she was a community resource officer. Barton understands what is expected of individuals working in that position and doesn’t mind helping as much as needed.
Barton received her award at the Law Enforcement Recognition Banquet May 17, 2018 at the Heron Lakes Country Club.
