Manager of the Year Employee of the Year
Ted Gutman is the the 2009 Manager of the Year. Gutman exemplifies enthusiasm and is not afraid of change. In contrast, he readily accepts and takes on new challenges. His knowledge of treatment and evidence-based practices, and the relationship of those dynamics to effective supervision, is of the highest degree. He shares this knowledge and works to apply it to the programs that will help offenders succeed. Gutman does an excellent job, not only as a Supervisor at the Burlington Residential Correctional Facility, but in networking with the community and other resources. Those extra efforts have brought benefits to offenders and staff alike. Patrick Lacy is the 2009 Employee of the Year. Lacy exemplifies what it takes to be a professional Probation and Parole Officer. He works effectively with everyone - attorneys, judges, law enforcement, other staff, and offenders to ensure that those under his supervision have the best chance to succeed. If an offender is not doing well, but is trying to improve, he works endlessly to help them. But if they are a threat to public safety, they are held immediately accountable. He shows “tough love” to his offenders, and it pays off. Lacy represents our department, and our business, in the finest manner.
