Excellence in Supervision - Agent Dakota Seymour

Sandra was sentenced to probation and assigned to Agent Seymour in Dorchester County. During her initial drug screening, she tested positive for cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamines, and amphetamines. As a result, Sandra was referred to substance use counseling. Sandra continued using illicit substances and repeatedly failed drug tests. Due to her continued substance use and concerns for community safety, her case was staffed for violations. Sandra then completed treatment at Morris Village and began attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings.

In a subsequent random drug and alcohol screening, Sandra tested negative for all substances. Her progress was recognized and celebrated by the supervising agents. Agent Seymour, in particular, demonstrated exceptional dedication by consistently seeking supportive solutions rather than punitive measures, focusing on addressing the root causes of Sandra’s noncompliance.

Through Agent Seymour’s guidance, Sandra gained a new perspective on life, becoming more accountable and making positive changes in her behavior, relationships, and environment. Her case has since been successfully closed.
