She has demonstrated “extraordinary effort in improving her
skillset and she is arguably our best investigator,” wrote Kevin DuBose,
director of Administrative Investigations
“In honing her craft, Pam has proven herself to be an
exceptional sexual abuse investigator” and demonstrates “an unusual ability to
develop rapport with earn the trust of victims of sexual abuse,” DuBose wrote.
In addition to being an excellent investigator, Pam has
embraced her role as a tenured employee and become a reliable mentor to her
peers, said DuBose, who nominated Gereau, citing her competency, character,
resilience and commitment to the agency.
Perhaps Gereau’s secret to maintaining such unswerving
dedication to work can be found in how she also maximizes her R&R time. She
likes to camp, mountain bike and travel. Over the years, she’s visited places
in Central America and Europe, and for closer-to-home travel, she has converted
three vehicles into camper vans. The latest conversion, for her sister, created
a Chevy Astro Van Extraordinaire, complete with a bed, kitchenette and portable
commode.
Gereau, who learned construction skills while in the Air
Force, also constructed a special purple coop for her laying chickens. Ask her
sometime, she’s got pictures.
She will receive a
certificate of appreciation, a reserved parking space for a month and the
option for a $50 gift card or 8 hours of Executive Leave.
