Dear Mr. Patrick,
I respectfully request that Officer Karen Webster be confirmed as a patrol officer
for the Kalispell Police Department. Officer Webster has successfully completed
her one year probationary period effective December 1.2, 2007.
Officer Webster is originally from Whitefish. Prior to being hired by the Kalispell
Police Department, Karen spent considerable time traveling in her role as a Navy
cryptologist and linguist. Karen speaks Farsi and has a bachelor's degree in
business administration. She received a number of commendations while in the
service including one from the F.B.I. for her assistance in connection with its
investigation efforts. Additionally, she has received the Stellar Award for her worm
with General Dynamics as a transmission security advisor.
In her year with the department she has excelled beyond expectations. Karen has
distinguished herself as an extremely quick learner and she undoubtedly has a
passion for serving our community. She displays a positive attitude and is always
willing to help.
I am confident that Officer Webster recognizes the importance of the department's
shared values of honesty, integrity, professional competence, compassion, positive
leadership and respect for the public. She has demonstrated a tremendous work
ethic and is an exemplary team player. Karen is an outstanding police officer and
we are fortunate to have her among our ranks.
It is nay pleasure to recommend Officer Karen Webster for confirmation.
Sincerely,
ogof Nasset, Chief of Police
