Serdynski Bookmark: http://www.mapinc.org/af.htm (Asset Forfeiture) NEUMAN IS BEST CHOICE FOR SHERIFF My name is Paul Serdynski and I am a retired federal agent. During my career in federal law enforcement I had the privilege of working with officers from the Dodge County Sheriff's Department on several significant investigations. I am writing to commend one officer in particular. Robert Neuman, because I feel that the citizens of Dodge County need to know that in Bob they have a special and talented officer who would be an excellent choice as the sheriff of Dodge County. It's not often that you find the right chemistry in a group of people that allows the group to excel in their endeavors. But we had that special chemistry during the years that I worked with Bob Neuman in Dodge County. Bob always assumed the leadership role in planning and conducting investigations. He also demonstrated the instincts and experience of a seasoned officer and the administrative experience required coordinating activities with different law enforcement jurisdictions. This is not an easy task. Bob Neuman impressed me in many ways but I'll just mention a few. Bob is a man of high integrity and high standards. He expects a lot of himself and has an energy level that is amazing. In my experience working with Bob, he will work tirelessly to "do the right thing" for the victims, citizens and the criminals that he encounters. Bob's commitment to serving the citizens of Dodge County is evident in the enthusiastic and proactive approach that he takes toward his assignments and responsibilities. Bob is creative and thinks out of the box. He is open to new ideas and law enforcement concepts. For example, his use of federal assets forfeiture provisions in drug investigations resulted in sharing of funds from forfeited assets with Dodge County. Bob is also a man of compassion and he understands important community issues and the citizens he serves. He has an exemplary record of participation in community service organizations and selflessly donates his time and his talents for causes and activities that improve the quality of life for the citizens of Dodge County. I am proud and thankful to have the opportunity to work with such a high-caliber individual. I believe that Robert Neuman has the integrity, knowledge, practical and administrative experience and the strong personnel commitment necessary to serve this community well as the Dodge County sheriff.
