The Mobile Police Department has named Sheena Ivey the Civilian Employee of the Month for September 2018. Joining the department in May 2014, Ivey serves as a public safety dispatcher. She is commended for providing excellent training to new employees.
Although providing training can be extremely tedious and overwhelming at times, Ivey remains dedicated to fulfill the responsibility and has a sincere desire to see her fellow employees excel. She completes in depth, comprehensive evaluations that paint a clear picture of the employees’ strengths and weaknesses, and uses it as a guide to help with their work success.
Ivey is constantly mindful of officer safety as well as the safety of the citizens of Mobile. She strives to instill that same conviction in each of her new trainees.
No matter what is asked of Ivey, she always does it with a smile and without hesitation. She maintains a positive, upbeat attitude even during the most stressful times. Ivey goes above and beyond to assist her co-workers and supervisors with ensuring the shift runs smoothly. Oftentimes, she is the first to point out any problems in the unit, whether it is equipment or any other issues that may impede serving citizens and officers on the street.
Additionally, Ivey is described as the driving force of the Action Team in the Communications Unit. The Action Team is comprised of employees from each shift who volunteer to meet routinely to come up with ideas to boost employee morale and find ways to streamline work processes.
