On September 15, units responded to a domestic assault in progress call. Upon arrival, Pfc. Kayser and her recruit made contact with a woman who had visible injuries. The male subject was arrested for assault. As Pfc. Kayser followed the victim into a bedroom to obtain her identification, a large quantity of cash and suspected crack cocaine was observed. Pfc. Kayser and her recruit obtained a search and seizure warrant for the apartment. With the assistance of other officers, the warrant was executed and a handgun, ammunition, $2,400 and approximately 240 vials of suspected crack cocaine were seized.

Pfc. Kayser displayed professionalism, dedication, commitment and a high quality work ethic. The experience Pfc. Kayser provided to her recruit during this month was exceptional.
