AURORA, CO — Deputy Postmaster Ron Stroman was joined by Interim Aurora Police Chief Terry Jones to present a special “Community Hero” award to Letter Carrier Tasha Ewing.

Ewing, a USPS carrier with less than five months on the job, noticed a garage door open, a suspicious vehicle, and broken glass. She called 911 and provided a description of the suspects and their vehicle. Her intervention and quick thinking help Aurora police apprehend the suspects, who are now under investigation for a string of similar crimes.

“Tasha’s direct concern and selflessness makes her a hero in the eyes of the Postal Service and to her community,” said Aurora Postmaster Joelle Zamora. “We are often the eyes and ears of where we serve.”

“Because Letter Carrier Ewing recognized something out of the ordinary and took the time to report it to the police she greatly assisted us with the apprehension of three burglars and a car thief,” said Chief Jones. “Actions such as hers contribute to the betterment of the City of Aurora, making it a safe place to live for its citizens.”
