In 2014, a sergeant retired from the Jefferson Hills Police Department. In the interim, and until promotional testing could take place, Officer Stephanie Behers was assigned as the officer in charge of her shift. Her responsibilities included providing oversight, coordination, and supervision of her shift officers.

Because of her performance in that role, at the April 13 Borough Council meeting, Mayor Jan Cmar presented Patrolman Behers with a proclamation recognizing her for her "exemplary role as officer in charge."
Police Chief Gene Roach said, "There was some apprehension going into the year short one sergeant. I looked at Officer Behers filling that role as a learning and developmental opportunity, not only for her but also for the department." He continued, stating, "By the end of the year, I recognized the department did not miss a beat. I attribute this to Officer Behers' knowledge of efficient departmental operations and her leadership qualities; I'm very proud of her."
