To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is my personal recommendation for Jeff Ferrell. Up until two years ago, I worked
with Jeff at the Salt River Police Department as his immediate supervisor. This was when Jeff
was assigned to the Criminal Investigations Unit, prior to his re-assignment to the Professional
Standards Unit. During that time, Jeff consistently worked hard, tackling all assignments with
dedication.
Besides being a good officer, Jeff was loyal and a take-charge person. He presented creative
ideas and provided solutions and ways to implement his suggestions. He successfully
developed and maintained several investigative protocols for the Salt River Police Department,
which resulted in the increase of tribal prosecutions. Also, due to Jeff’s efforts, the Criminal
Investigation Unit was able to stream line extraditions of state side warrants, improve
interagency relations with neighboring Law Enforcement agencies and resources.
Jeff was also extraordinarily helpful in other areas of the Salt River Police Department and
Community. In addition to having the ability to writing effective reports and possessing
excellent communication skills, Jeff assumed a leadership role in protecting fellow Police
Officers. Jeff achieved this by contacting other law enforcement agencies, learned their
policies and procedures and utilizing what was needed to help develop the Salt River Police
Officer Association; that currently protects the rights and provides due diligent to Police
Officers at Salt River Police Department. Jeff is a team leader and will be an asset to any law
enforcement organization.
I highly recommend Jeff for employment with your agency.
Sincerely,
