CJ Alum Shines by Showing his Due Diligence and Preparation
Share
Kevin Sager ’07 criminal justice, was recently hired by his hometown police department in Massachusetts. Before applying, he vetted the police department. This impressed the dept. and is one of the reasons they chose him. And of course, his qualifications—he’s been an instructor at the Maine Police Academy and for the last 13 years has worked for the South Portland Police Dept.
Hopkinton Police Chief Joseph Bennett said in his introduction. “But today I want to share with you what really impressed me and others about Kevin, is not only his accomplishments and his resume, his character, his demeanor, and the fact that I believe he is going to be an amazing fit in our community — he vetted us. He researched our department. He looked on our social media posts. He looked on our website. He researched so much about the department. He was so well-prepared for the interview. He even reached out before he considered [applying], he reached out to me and asked to do a ride-along. He spent time with the officers.
“He chose us to apply. And I think that’s certainly a compliment to our department, to have a high-caliber applicant do all that to come here. And it shows his due diligence and preparation. He performed very well in his interviews, he performed very well in his other department. He’s an outstanding candidate for many reasons, but the research he did and the fact that he vetted us really stood out to me.”
Congratulation, Kevin. We’re proud of you.
