Sgt. Nate Goard
Sergeant Nate Goard was nominated as Employee of the Quarter for the second quarter of 2026. In his nomination, Sgt. David Collis cited Sgt. Goard’s willingness to ensure the extended patrol sergeant vacancy was covered. It should go without saying the patrol sergeant position is one of the most integral positions in the department. Patrol sergeants are responsible for providing leadership, vital first line supervision and resource allocation to some of the most critical calls for service.
Since January, Sergeant Goard has worked well over 300 hours of shift overtime to ensure these responsibilities are met. Many of these shifts began in the middle of the night and extended beyond 12 or 14 hours. He has also been tasked with training new sergeants. Sgt. Goard’s ability to provide calm, competent and consistent leadership regardless of the situation or time of day is an asset to the department.
