Re: Letter of Character for Officer. Rob McGowan
Date: Nov. 17, 2009



TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,


MY NAME IS ERIC SOLORIO AND I AM CURRENTLY ASSIGNED AS A VACATION RELIEF SERGEANT AT THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTION FOR MEN. I HAVE SUPERVISED OFFICER R. McGOWAN WHEN HE WAS ASSIGNED TO THE RECEPTION CENTER CENTRAL FACILITY AT C.I.M. DURING HIS TENURE AS AN OFFICER UNDER MY SUPERVISION HE HAS SHOWN OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP SKILLS, GOOD JUGDEMENT AND HAS TAKEN CONTROL OF STRESSFUL SITUATIONS AND VIOLENT EMERGENCIES THAT HAVE OCCURRED ON THE FACILITY. NEITHER MY SERGEANTS NOR I HAD ANY CONCERNS REGARDING HIS JUDGEMENT WHEN DEALING WITH CRITICAL SITUATIONS AS HE IS PROACTIVE IN LEARNING THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATIONS.


I FEEL STRONGLY ON THE CALIBER OF INDIVIDUAL OFFICER McGOWAN IS THAT I NEEDED TO WRITE THIS LETTER TO EXPRESS MY PROFESSIONAL FEELINGS ABOUT ROB McGOWAN AS HIS SUPERVISOR. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY, OFFICER McGOWAN WILL CONTINUE TO DO GOOD THINGS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATIONS AS I HAVE WITNESSED HIS LEADERSHIP SKILLS AS A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER AND THE POSITIVE REACTION FROM HIS PEERS AND SUBORDINATES.


IF I CAN BE OF ANT FURTHER ASSISTANCE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT (XXX)XXX-XXXX OR MY CONTACT INFORMATION BELOW.


SGT. ERIC SOLORIO
