January’s Officers of the Month at Hammocks Police District were honored on Jan. 30 by Citizens Advisory Committee chair James Blough (left) and Maj. Hernan M. Organvidez (right). Analyst Specialist Maria Trelles, 14-year careerist at Hammocks District Station, devised an assessment program leading to significant burglary reductions through statistics that tracked and analyzed investigations. In 2012, Officer Orlando Sanchez made two major arrests within five days, recovering $47,000 in a Sept. 14 house burglary and uncovering a marijuana grow house on Sept. 19. He was commended for apprehending six offenders who later admitted to several Hammocks District burglaries.
