Earlier I talked about consistency and continually fighting the good fight. Officer Michael Butler, Officer of the Month for July, is that guy. Officer Butler is one of the hardest working police officers in the Seventh District. His proficiency and knowledge of Problem Properties within the District is invaluable and almost never mentioned. He is truly the man behind the scenes. Every day he follows up with officers to make their jobs easier by bringing to bear the full weight of all the City’s resources upon the property owners. Each time he is approached or given him information regarding a residence which has become a nuisance, Officer Butler will say, “Don’t worry, I’m already on it”. Officer Butler takes care of the matter in a fast and proficient manner.
I strongly feel his hard work and diligence to his job, always giving above and beyond what his job entails, makes him very deserving of this recognition. Officer Butler is a huge asset to the Seventh District and one reason why crime was down 13% in the District. That means last year 583 fewer people were victimized in the District.
