January 1982
Kenneth I. Harms
Chief of Police
The Miami Police Department has selected Officers Jose Seiglie and
Kenneth Nelson as
its Most Outstanding Officers of the Month for
January 1982.
Working on the afternoon
shift in the downtown area, Officers
Seiglie and Nelson
were responsible for 28 felony and 32 misde-
meanor arrests in
just 14 working days last month. Most of their
apprehensions were
the result of unassigned work, and they often
- had to deal with dangerous
situations involving narcotics and
weapons.
In one case, the young officers spotted a car they believed to
have been involved in a robbery. A check of the car resulted in
the arrest of the three occupants and the recovery of a gun, a
stolen tag, 230 quaaludes and a half pound of marijuana.
On January 5th, Officers Seiglie and Nelson searched for and
located a subject wanted on an open grand theft warrant. After
they arrested this suspect, they learned someone matching his
description was wanted in connection with a brutal New Year's
Eve murder. Officers Seiglie and Nelson contacted the Homicide
Detail regarding this suspect and it was determined he was indeed
the offender in the murder, Then Officers Seiglie and Nelson
went out and located a witness who provided information that led
to the subsequent arrest of two additional subjects in the same
homicide case.
Officer Seiglie is 24 years old and has been with the Miami Police
Department less than two years. In that brief time he has earned
12 commendations for outstanding performance of duty and two
nominations for the department's Most Outstanding Officer of the
Month award. Last June, within two hours of a homicide, he
located.and arrested the offender.
Officer Nelson, 26, has less than one year's experience with the
department. However he has already been a two-time nominee for
Most Outstanding Officer of the Month.
Please advise my office of the date
presentation of the Certificate of
and Nelson.
