FORT BUCHANAN, PUERTO RICO – On Nov. 15, members of the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES), the command group, and community members gathered at the installation to witness Sgt. Tali Albarrán's promotion to the rank of Lieutenant.
Major Melvin Torres, DES Police Operations Officer, attended the event.
"Albarrán takes care of his colleagues and the personnel who work with him, which has taken him to the next level. This promotion will improve the department's performance and guide the new officers, "said Torres.
During the ceremony, Lt. Col. Sean K. Cook, Fort Buchanan deputy commander, represented the command group.
"These moments are meant to highlight when we have found someone who goes above and beyond and exemplifies leadership. Lieutenant Albarrán is good at what he does. He is truly dedicated to what he does. We at Fort Buchanan want to thank him for all he does for us on the installation," said Cook.
Meanwhile, Albarrán expressed gratitude to his family, friends, and co-workers.
"I am happy to have this new opportunity to increase my skills as a police officer here at Fort Buchanan. The lieutenant position gives me more responsibilities, and I will fulfill them. Most importantly, my family is happy and can count on me," said Albarrán.
