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.
