The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office recently announced that Deputy Paul Kubinski has been named Employee of the First Quarter. He was nominated by a supervisor of the Operations Division for his exemplary performance.

Kubinski has been with the sheriff’s office since April 2009 and currently is assigned to the Crisis Intervention and Elderly Services unit, according to the sheriff’s office. Since joining the Sheriff’s Office, Kubinski has provided exemplary service to the Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of Kendall County. He has demonstrated a commitment to excellence, dedication to service and distinguished leadership ability.

Kubinski has taken on numerous responsibilities including the development of the mental health program at the Sheriff’s Office. This program is a collaboration between multiple agencies that focus on providing critical services to citizens in need.

As part of this effort, he has organized regular meetings which bring community stakeholders and representatives from numerous public service and mental health organizations together to discuss ways to work together to deliver the most effective care to those in need.

Kubinski has worked with the leadership team of the newly created Mobile Crisis Response Team to facilitate members of the MCR-T to work out of law enforcement facilities throughout the county to help gain an understanding of how we can best integrate our responses to provide the best services possible for our community.

Through Kubinski’s efforts, the citizens of Kendall County are being provided the resources necessary to support their mental health and well-being.
