I am pleased to acknowledge the selection of SERGEANT DANIEL STEHLE as Employee of the Month for MAY 2012.

As a Supervisor in the Transportation Division, Sergeant Stehle is responsible for coordinating the approximately 12,000 prisoner transportation details the Sheriff’s Office performs every year. During these assignments, Deputy Sheriffs transfer an average of 49,000 prisoners to various correctional institutions, courts and medical facilities within Pennsylvania, as well as, throughout the country. It is because of Sergeant Stehle’s diligence, experience and expertise that the Transportation Division has been able to carry out all assignments efficiently, despite the complicated logistics he must work with on a daily basis.

In spite of the sizable number of convicted criminals the Transportation Division handles annually, zero prisoners have escaped or been in accidents while being transported by Deputy Sheriffs. This is certainly no small feat and Sergeant Stehle is recognized for his crucial role in helping to make the everyday, tedious operation of the Transportation Division seamless.

In recognition, Sergeant Stehle will be granted one full day off work, as long as no overtime is incurred. Please join me in congratulating Sergeant Stehle in this worthy accomplishment.
