Officer, Citizen, Business and more
By Lynn Volkens
Crime Stoppers of Gilpin and Clear Creek Counties held their annual Lyle Wohlers Law Enforcement Appreciation Luncheon on May 8, 2013 at Ameristar Casino in Black Hawk. The event was hosted this year by the Central City Police Department. Detective Rick Miller served as Master of Ceremonies, introducing the speakers and award presenters. Crime Stoppers accepts nominations from the various law enforcement agencies located in Gilpin and Clear Creek Counties, and from the Colorado State Patrol. Officer of the Year candidates are nominated for “performance of their duties above and beyond what is required on the job, for bringing respect to themselves, honor to their departments, and for consistently promoting a positive image for the law enforcement community and the citizens of Gilpin and Clear Creek Counties.” Crime Stoppers recognizes a “Citizen of the Year” with an award based on “demonstrating a positive image, encouraging and assisting others to better themselves, and through their acts and their deeds, working for the common good of the people of Gilpin and Clear Creek Counties in a manner that is consistent with law enforcement ideals.” The President’s Award is given to “an individual who has dedicated their life to the law enforcement community.” Additionally, there is a Lifetime of Excellence in Law Enforcement Award.
