Tonya Sconyers - Outstanding Achievement and Performance
2016 Department of Public Safety Badge of Excellence Awards. January 21, 2016. Raleigh, NC.
Tonya Sconyers – Probation/Parole (Randall Building, Raleigh)
Serving as an investigator with the joint FBI Task Force & NCDPS Special Operations and Intelligence Unit, Conyers is also a credentialed agent with the FBI. She continues to be active in securing the arrest of DPS absconders. As evidence of her sustained dedication to her job in public safety, Sconyers created and implemented an adult correction escape initiative that enhances the cooperation between FBI and DPS. This initiative which has led to the arrests of 30 escapees, many of whom escaped decades ago - serves notice to escaped inmates that accountability for crimes committed is not only expected but that law enforcement will not cease in their pursuit. Through this successful initiative, DPS has been able to incarcerate 15 inmates (who were using different names not connected to NC records); facilitate the removal of 12 deceased inmates listed as at-large fugitives; capture 2 individuals who were living under alias, with new lives and manufactured histories; as well as closing one case in the best interest of the State. TFO Sconyers was also instrumental to the successful implementation of ‘Operation Rockfish.’ Operation Rockfish netted over 13 compromised law enforcement personnel safeguarding the dignity of law enforcement while advancing the Agency’s core mission. TFO Sconyers’ keen awareness of the need of public safety continues to benefit the citizens of North Carolina.
