Business Affairs is proud to recognize Sergeant Paul English, University Police, as the second quarter recipient of the Celebrating Excellence Award.

Taking the position of patrol sergeant to a new level, Sgt. English expects excellence from all who work for him as well as himself. He is a true "do as I do" leader.  He has been described by his peers as a "Sergeant who makes you want to be a better Sergeant." Building team unity and pride, involving all the personnel on his shift in training scenarios, and giving updates on training practices, laws, officer safety and law enforcement news are all priorities for Sgt. English. He does this to keep his troops safe on the street and performing with accuracy and confidence. Each day, he recognizes fallen police officers as a reality check to keep his officers from getting in the "it's not going to happen to me" mind set.

Sgt. English has implemented several motivational programs. This semester, he launched the "Best Shined Boots" and "Speed Handcuffing" contests and prizes are awarded to those officers that use the least amount of sick time during each semester.

As a police officer, Sgt. English serves as a role model and sets an example in his personal virtues and standards. His pride in his "Mighty Second Shift" keeps the morale at an all time high. It has been said that when you are on the "Mighty Second Shift", not only is it a pleasure to come to work, but you look forward to it.

Chief Hernandez said, "Sgt. English has a passion and a heart for people which makes him a really great leader. He is 100% committed to helping the community."

Sgt. English, thank you and congratulations for your dedicated service to the university and Business Affairs!
