Middle Township Employee of the Month: Officer Steve Novsak

HOUSE — The Feb. 2014 Middle Township Employee of the Month is Officer Steve Novsak from the Township’s Police Department. Novsak was honored with the recognition during the March 19 meeting of the Middle Township Committee.
“We are very proud to honor Steve for his hard work and volunteerism as a member of the Middle Township Police Department”, Mayor Donohue said. “Steve has gone above and beyond the call of duty for the Township and his efforts have been recognized by his fellow co-workers.”
Officer Novsak was hired by the Middle Township Police Department in March, 2004 following a ten year career with the West Wildwood Police Department. He recently volunteered to become a member of the Middle Township Emergency Management team and voluntarily enrolled the Township in the Law Enforcement Support Office. Through his diligent efforts on his own time without additional compensation, Officer Novsak was able to secure $683,000 in assets for the Township.
“Officer Novsak consistently performs his duty to the upmost of his ability and cheerfully volunteers when duty calls,” said Middle Township Police Captain John Edwards. “This winter, Officer Novsak was photographed changing a tire for a senior citizen during a snowstorm. That’s just one example of him going above and beyond the call of duty.”
The Middle Township Employee of the Month program was initiated by the Township Committee to honor employees who exemplify the Township’s commitment to better delivery of services and going the extra mile for residents. The program culminates with the Darius Graham Employee of the Year honor that is named after one of the Township’s most beloved employees in its history.
Nominations for the Employee of the Month Program are available inside Middle Township hall at three locations: Human Resources and Training Department, Administration Department, and on the bulletin board. Residents from the Township who have had a very positive interaction with any Middle Township employee may pick up the one-page nomination form and fill it out in the employee’s behalf. Each month a Township employee will be selected; the winning nominee will receive a certificate at a future Township Committee meeting along with a photograph posted on the bulletin board.
The Jan., 2014 Middle Township Employee of the Month was Robert Matthews, the Director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center in Whitesboro.
