2008 Al Weatherman Award Nomination
Anthony “Tony” Corroo

I nominate for this years Al Weatherman award CSAA SIU Specialist Tony Corroo. Tony has had a long and distinguished career with CSAA. In the past 35 years he has progressed through the ranks and is currently an analyst and SIU Specialist. He has been a long time member and staunch supporter of WSATI in both the Central and Northern Chapter. He is a member of both chapters and is a Past President of the Central Chapter. He has unselfishly given of his time and resources in the planning, preparation, and execution of the annual training conferences for both Northern and Central WSATI Chapters. He has been the “Go to Guy” for assistance in both WSATI and matters as a liaison between CSAA, NICB, and law enforcement. He has obtained bait vehicles from CSAA salvage for programs run by NICB used by law enforcement which have been extremely successful and productive. He has obtained identifiable component parts from CSAA salvage to be used in law enforcement stings on short notice which have also produced arrests and recoveries. Although he has not directly arrested these perpetrators his support has surely made their arrests and prosecution possible. His exceptional contribution to the fight against auto theft and auto insurance fraud is a reflection of his professionalism, leadership, and tenacious work ethic. He embodies the spirit, meaning, and purpose of the Al Weatherman Award.

Northern Chapter President Tina Johnson with 2008 Al Weatherman Award Recipient Tony Corroo
