Search and Rescue K-9 handler/Special Olympics volunteer/Cop/a got your back friend/ in a joie de vie package
Nominee: Erica V.
Erica - the ultimate multi-tasker: a veteran Cop on the owl shift; K-9 search and rescue team handler for two volunteer teams; passionate Special Olympics volunteer, but will be at your side in a heartbeat for support and ready to deploy 24/7. Erica and her K-9 Max (biggest mush GSD you ever saw!) are a fixture in RI, whether on a search, at the Special Olympics events( ever see 15 SO athletes pig-pile a tail wagging German shepherd or a local community event? For all her herculean work however, the salary doesn’t and likely couldn’t match the countless untold hours and heart she puts into every one of her passions. A raise would enable her to pursue additional training in specialty Search and rescue fields, acquire a new K-9 to start working parallel with Max (two years + to become a certified SAR K-9) and maybe, just maybe take some time off to smell the roses with her husband. I’m incredulous at her ability to run her engine on less than 5 hours of sleep a night and feel the raise would lift the weight on her to continue her amazing life projects!
