Subject: Acknowledgement of Outstanding performance in assigned duties
I have known Officer Robert McGowan for approximately 9 years. We have worked together at the California Institution for Men in Chino. We started working as partners working as housing Unit Officers together. As Officers I have witnessed his professional conduct when interacting with inmates and fellow staff members. Officer McGowan takes pride in his profession; he is always willing to lend a hand to his partners.
The last couple of years our relationship has changed as I have since promoted to the Rank of Sergeant. I am currently assigned as a housing Sergeant in RCC were Officer McGowan is currently assigned. While he does not directly fall under my Supervision we have a good working relationship. When I call on Officer McGowan to assist me with support he is quick to offer his assistance. Officer McGowan currently is assigned to an Administration Segregation unit, dealing with high security inmates. I know that he is an asset to his peers and his supervisors.
On a personal note, I also know his family. We have spent time together over the years in a personal friendship. He is a great husband and father. He works hard to provide a good living for his family. He is a man of integrity and is loyal to those that call him a friend. He would not have committed the acts that he is being accused of. It is a shame that his character and honor have come into question.
