ITEM 5. PERSONNEL:
a. Employee of the Quarter – July, August, and September 2024 – Ed Galo
Mayor Williams recognized Officer Ed Galo as employee of the quarter. He stated that Ed is a great
employee who comes to work with a positive attitude that infects everyone around him. Ed is not only
great at his daily duties but constantly volunteers for additional shifts when help is needed. Ed is always
willing to help anyone he can and being bilingual often helps with translations. One example is recently
with a missing juvenile case, Ed was able to assist the Investigations Division with translation as almost no
one involved spoke English. Investigations relayed that this was very helpful with their investigation as he
was able to translate in real time and also help bridge the cultural gap. Much of this was done on his days
off but he remained committed to helping ensure, along with Investigations that the child was found
safely. Ed is an asset to Public Safety as well as the city as a whole.
