Cape May Court House, N.J. – The Middle Township Police Department’s website information needed updating, and Records Clerk Alexis Kalish was quick to volunteer for the job.

She is dedicated to serving the community, and her willingness to assist with these updates led to her being named Middle Township’s October Employee of the Month.

“I am very grateful for being nominated for Employee of the Month,” said Kalish. “Having this position as a Records Clerk has been, and continues to be, a great experience. I have learned a lot working at the Middle Township Police Department. And it is also nice to have good communication with my co-workers; this makes the job ten times easier.”

Kalish has been working with Middle Township for about six years, starting as a part-time recreation aide. She has been a records clerk for the police department since 2018.

“What I enjoy most about my job is that it offers room to continue to learn new things,” she said. “And you have different experiences every day.”

Her co-worker, Kendra Karstens, noticed Kalish’s commitment to her job and nominated her for Employee of the Month.

“She possesses the determination and keen attention to detail needed to continuously update the website, various digital forms, statistical reports, and important files in order to give our residents and staff the most up-to-date department information,” said Karstens, the department’s lead supervisor. “During a period of so much change within our department, she has volunteered to assist with these updates, helping to ensure a smooth transition.”

Besides updating the website, Kalish’s responsibilities include conducting monthly statistics and local records checks, copying reports for the public, attorneys, law enforcement agencies, and insurance companies; processing expungement orders, issuing temporary placards for people with disabilities, and more.

“We are proud to recognize Alexis for her hard work and commitment to the MTPD and our community,” said Mayor Tim Donohue. “The staff in our Police Records Department manages an ever-expanding database of reporting and record-keeping programs. This role is vital to meeting our compliance requirements and ensuring citizens access to important records in a timely manner.”

Kalish plans to take more training classes to enhance her work in the records department.
