HONORING OFFICERS Officer Gabriel Copley has completed the final night of his field training program and will be released to work independently. On Monday, March 11th, at the Police Merit Board meeting, we honored some of our officers for their outstanding efforts. Lt. Tom Owens, Officers Parker Roark, Kevin Roach, Sawyer Donovan, and Eric Cheek received medals and certificates from the American Police Hall of Fame for their heroic efforts during an incident at one of our local businesses. The report initially came out as a disgruntled employee/active shooter who had made threats to other employees. Officers entered the building tactfully and without hesitation. They secured the inside and outside areas and eventually found the suspect. While there were not any shots actually fired in this incident, the suspect was found to have a weapon and body armor. We commend them for their bravery and unwavering devotion to the safety of our community.
