Law enforcement heroes to be honored at gala awards evening on September 19.
Fort Myers, FL, September 04, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Rotary Club of Fort Myers South is pleased to announce the five finalists for Officer of the Year from six local law enforcement agencies. These finalists will be honored at the Law and Order Ball at 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 19 at Harborside Event Center in downtown Fort Myers.
In a blind judging process, a committee made up of Rotary Club members and business leaders selected the following finalists from nominees chosen by their respective agencies: from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office – Staff Officer Darryl Aubuchon, Deputy Chris Meyer and Deputy Michael Zazwirsky; from the Fort Myers Police Department – Officer David Conticelli; and from the Cape Coral Police Department – Detective Patricia Enterline. One special hero will be awarded and receive a custom designed piece by Rotarian Mark Loren of Mark Loren Designs.
The Selection Committee includes Rotarians Rebecca Goff, Gerry Poppe, Jeff Kircher, and Steve Russell; Cliff Smith, CEO, United Way of Lee, Charlotte, Hendry & Glades Counties; Jennifer Powers Adkins, VP, Finance & Treasurer, Chico’s and retired law enforcement officer Stephanie Nygaard.
Nominees for “Officer of the Year” were selected based on their consistency in going above and beyond the call of duty, the totality of their contribution to the agency and/or community throughout the year, their service as a role model to others and other extraordinary actions.
Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to protect Southwest Florida, and our community can show their appreciation by underwriting the cost of law enforcement tickets through the Fund-A-Cop program.
