Eden Prairie Records Supervisor Receives Excellence in Service Award

An Eden Prairie records supervisor has been recognized for her service.

Sandy Mitchell received the Minnesota Professional Law Enforcement Assistants Association’s Excellence in Service Award at the association’s annual conference last week, the city announced in a Police Department blog post.

The agency released this excerpt from the nomination from Police Chief Rob Reynolds:

Sandy has worked for the Eden Prairie Police Department since 1984 and during her tenure has proved to be an invaluable member of our department who excels at customer service.

During the past three years Sandy has worked tirelessly to ensure our department’s smooth transition from our old records system to a new records system. This new technology resulted in a complete change in the way her unit operated.  She lead the Records Unit in preparing for the conversion of all historical data, researching and implementing solutions that were compatible with the new system and the needs of our business practice, and then spent many additional hours training her staff on how to use the new technology. All this was done in addition to her normal duties. 

Sandy greeted these new responsibilities with the same upbeat attitude and work ethic she typically displays. She takes great pride in her work and demonstrates it by putting in an average of 50 hours a week. Sandy has been able to successfully motivate her staff and other city employees to embrace these new developments. Sandy has demonstrated a unique ability to understand future technology and implement it into the current workflow.

This is just one example of the great work Sandy does in our department. Sandy is well respected in the Police Department and in other city departments for her strong work ethic and her commitment to excellence. No matter how busy she is, Sandy is known to always greet her internal and external customers with a smile and can-do attitude.
