Officer
John Misiewicz, SPD, has proven to be a great asset to the
Sarasota Police Department and displays exemplary respect
towards his co-workers and supervisors.
Since February of 2008 the Police Department has seen an increase
in violent crime to include homicide, shooting victims, forcible
felonies involving guns, and drive by shootings in the North
District. Strategic plans have been put in place to include
the New Day in Newtown Initiative to help reduce crime in
the community and Officer Misiewicz is a big part of that.
During this timeframe Officer Misiewicz has been assigned
to shift 2A North District. He has consistently led his squad
in self initiated activity. During these contacts Officer
Misiewicz made nine felony weapons arrests, removing these
guns from our streets.
As a leader in arrests, Officer Misiewicz initiated more foot
pursuits than any officer on his shift. He consistently runs
down fleeing suspects and captures them without assistance
due to superior physical abilities and courage. Recently,
in response to a burglary report, he observed a possible suspect
several blocks from the scene and initiated contact. This
suspect fled. Officer Misiewicz ran down the suspect without
assistance and arrested him for burglary of a dwelling.
Officer John Misiewicz serves his community with excellence
and pride!
Congratulations!
