Sheriff Glodis Launches New Partnership with Army Reserve Print E-mail
West Boylston -   Worcester County Sheriff Guy Glodis was proud today to welcome highly-decorated Brigadier General John Cornelius from New York for the official signing of a new Employer Partnership Initiative between the Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Army Reserve.  The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office is the first law enforcement agency in New England to implement this new program, aimed at recruiting and retaining Army Reservists for employment at the Sheriff’s Office.


“We pursued this program because we not only honor those men and women who have chosen to commit themselves to military service in the Army Reserve,” Sheriff Glodis stated, “but also because we recognize and respect the exceptional training and experience each Reservist carries with them.  We know that Reservists who apply for a job have already undergone a medical evaluation, physical fitness training, aptitude testing and background checks, and are fully trained in many areas of public safety.” Image

 

The Employer Partnership Initiative, created in 2008, builds a unique partnership between businesses and the U.S. Army Reserve to share resources in the recruitment, retention, training, and support of Army Reservists.  That includes job postings on the Army Reserve web site, referrals from the Army Reserve to the Sheriff’s Office for potential candidates, participation in employer forums, and much more.  

Brigadier General John Cornelius, a recipient of the Meritorious Service Medal (3rd Award), Army Commendation Medal (3rd Award), and the National Defense Service Medal, commented on the importance of this program: “The Employer Partnership Initiative is a perfect fit for the Sheriff’s Office in matching well-trained, highly qualified personnel with employment opportunities that have a positive impact on their community.  I commend Sheriff Glodis and everyone at the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office for establishing this partnership with the Army Reserve.  Their actions here today speak volumes about the support, encouragement and patriotic duty they feel towards Army Reservists.” 

Sheriff also signed a formal Statement of Support for the Guard and Reserve at today’s event.
