Commending investigator

I would like to commend Investigator Mac Bridgwater on the hard work he has done and the interagency cooperation he has shown while working on the numerous cases of break-ins within the county. These have affected many in the community and raised the awareness that we could become a victim of a crime at any time, even in Nelson County. 
I spoke to many in the community and they have been impressed with Mac Bridgwater’s professionalism and concern for their well being , solving these crimes and recovering their stolen property. He understands the emotional effects of such a violation of personnel safety and has been compassionate and caring to those affected by these crimes.
While there is no way the people affected feel they will be able to repay him for the kindness and hard work he has shown in this trying time, they can express it in their words about him and have done so. While Investigator Bridgwater only sees this as doing his job and doing it well, others see it in a different way.
It is reassuring to know that he is doing his job and doing it well and in the process protecting those people that live within the community.
His training, experience and commitment to the community reflect well on the local sheriff’s department and speak volumes on the character of Investigator Bridgwater.
