Maitland Police Officer Odelia Cordova recently earned a much-deserved recognition as the city's Employee of the Quarter.
Cordova joined Maitland as a Community Service Officer in 2018. She later attended law enforcement academy while continuing work with the city. She was sworn in as a Police Officer in March 2020.
Cordova is dedicated to serving our community, and she frequently goes well beyond to assist residents and businesses. She recently helped to rescue a juvenile from a retention pond.
On Dec. 10, she also was the first to respond to the victim of a traumatic injury at the Brickstone Maitland Summit Complex, providing emergency first-aid until other responders arrived. She then accompanied the victim to the hospital to provide extra support.
