Sergeant Christopher Plummer is the Employee of the Quarter for the third quarter of 2024.
Nominated by three of his colleagues, Sgt. Plummer is recognized as a dedicated leader who effectively handles high-pressure situations, which were highlighted by two recent incidents.
The first was in June when he successfully managed a high-risk situation involving an armed man threatening his mother. He controlled the scene and coordinated the involvement of the Strafford County Regional Tactical Operations Unit.
The second was in August when he assumed a key leadership role in a barricaded armed suspect situation that ended with an officer involved shooting. This was a first for both the Strafford County Regional Tactical Operations Unit (SCRTOU) and Seacoast Emergency Response Team (SERT). Sgt. Plummer effectively managed tasks at the scene and ensured the well-being of team members afterward. He also developed a detailed debrief for area police chiefs.
Additionally, Sgt. Plummer was instrumental in the research, rollout, training and smooth transition to new handguns with red dot sights. Sergeant Plummer routinely shows passion for mentoring, teaching, and creating a supportive environment for learning.
