August Police Officer of the Month Detective Rebecca Werner is an 18-year veteran of the City of Cleveland Division of Police and a current detective in the 4th District Detective Bureau.
When I contacted Fourth District Sgt. Michael Schroeder to obtain info on her work ethic, he stated, “Detective Werner is very thorough and extremely meticulous when it comes to handling her cases and assisting her fellow detectives and patrol officers.
“Detective Werner is also very well versed with handling cases involving juveniles. Handling cases involving juveniles can be extremely difficult, but she is constantly able to get favorable results.
“Her reports are so thorough and complete that the City and County Prosecutor’s Offices are always calling the office to give her compliments. She is a valued member of the division and an exceptional detective. “
I personally had a very positive experience with Detective Werner when she contacted me about a student that had been shot in front of a local high school last December and wanted to ensure he had a special Christmas. I’m happy to report that with the help of some Xmas elves we indeed did make it a special holiday for the young man thanks to Detective Werner.
It is because of her caring for her fellow citizens and dedication to her work that the Cleveland Police Foundation is honored to name Detective Rebecca Werner our Police Officer of the Month for August 2024.
