The City of Fallon is proud to recognize the tireless work, dedication and outstanding professionalism of Duane Jardine, our city’s employee of the quarter for the fourth quarter of 2011.
Jardine is a patrol officer with the Fallon Police Department and the department’s lead Taser trainer.
A native Nevadan, Jardine worked with tribal police in Ely and Fallon and at the Lovelock Police Department before joining the Fallon police force six years ago.
“I enjoy serving people,” said Jardine. “I love going out and interacting with people.”
Jardine’s six years on patrol in Fallon makes him a familiar face to many locals, and a valuable asset to the department.
“We know a lot of the people in the community on a first-name basis,” said Jardine. “I am not a new guy showing up on a call.”
Fallon Police Captain Frank Shyne said Jardine is a hard worker who can always be trusted to get his job done. He even fills in as an acting supervisor when needed.
If that is not proof enough of Jardine’s dedication to the department, here’s another example: He’s taken a Taser to the chest as part of his training as lead instructor for the department.
We congratulate Duane on this well deserved honor. If you see Duane around town, congratulate him on this recognition. Check back in future editions of the newsletter for next quarter’s outstanding employee.
