Christopher was nominated by his friend, Jeremiah Catherwood, who said “I am honored to recommend an exceptional law enforcement officer, Christopher Ponder, who has been a vital member of the Florida Highway Patrol for eight years. This officer has made significant contributions to the force and has been serving as a Field Training Officer (FTO) for the last five years.
In his role as an FTO, he has proven to be an outstanding mentor and role model to his colleagues. He has earned the respect of his peers and superiors for his exceptional work ethic, professionalism, and commitment to duty. His strong leadership skills have been instrumental in shaping the careers of new recruits, and his dedication to the law enforcement profession has set a high standard for others to follow.
Moreover, I would like to highlight that he has been accepted into the prestigious Law Program at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), which is a testament to his intellectual prowess and dedication to advancing his knowledge and skills. Despite his already impressive career, he plans to continue to attend night classes while still serving on the force, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the law enforcement profession and his community.
His exceptional work ethic, leadership skills, and unwavering dedication to the law enforcement profession make him an invaluable asset to the force.”
Christopher, thanks for all you do for the community. As a way of saying thanks, you will receive Sunday Brunch for 4 at Bonefish Grill.
