Sandy Desmond for HoS

[Skotcher]

I dont have more guided feedback yet, but I wanted to comment this while its fresh in my mind. I recently observed two rounds where Sandy took it upon themselves to help teach two Security Assistants learn the ropes. The first round, one security assistant joined late and Sandy checked in with team, saw that there was time to help guide the new assistant, and began teaching them how to use the tools available to them. Once the round ended, they checked in with the newer player, heard they were still interested, and volunteered to take the new round to teach them again. This is where a second new assistant joined and they seamlessly integrated the lessons with both assistants present. At no point did I feel like info was being missed. They brought other officers in to the teaching moments and helped make the assistants feel like they were part of the team. Both players expressed gratitude for the help and complimented the teaching style. While I still want to watch some more rounds and get a sense of how Sandy evaluates the rounds and engages with them, I think this moment demonstrates good leadership qualities that we want from a HoS.

Looking forward to seeing you more in the rounds, Sandy.
