Featured Servant Officers Of The Month

Officer Daniel Bradley

Florida Atlantic Police Department l Florida

A heart for service reaches wherever help is needed. For Officer Bradley, that meant bringing the FAU community together to support people facing the aftermath of devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.

Recognizing an opportunity to make a difference, Officer Bradley organized the Venezuela Relief Donation Drive. He coordinated the collection of donated items, encouraged community participation, and ensured the supplies were organized for delivery. His initiative gave others a practical way to contribute to the humanitarian response.

Officer Bradley also personally transported and delivered the donations to Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) in Doral, Florida. By following through from collection to delivery, he helped connect the generosity of the FAU community with an organization supporting disaster relief.

His efforts reflect an essential quality of servant leadership: the willingness to take responsibility for helping others. He recognized a need beyond his immediate community and committed his time and effort to addressing it, inviting others to join him along the way.

Sheriff William Watson

Russell County Sheriffs Office l Virginia

When Hurricane Helene devastated the region, families were left without power, food, and water—some for weeks. Fallen trees and debris blocked roads, creating serious challenges for residents and the emergency personnel working to reach them.

Sheriff Watson witnessed the devastation and understood that his agency needed to be prepared to provide even greater assistance when the next critical incident occurred. He turned that realization into action.

Through his leadership and determination, the RCSO obtained two large disaster-response vehicles. Each vehicle has been equipped with chainsaws, generators, safety equipment, tools, and other essential resources needed to respond to flooding, remove debris, reopen roads, and reach residents during emergencies.

What began as a response to the lessons learned from Hurricane Helene has become an important investment in the safety and preparedness of the entire community. Sheriff Watson’s initiative has attracted attention throughout the region and strengthened the RCSO’s ability to serve when people need help most.

For Sheriff Watson, service extends far beyond the traditional responsibilities of law enforcement. His belief is simple: They may hold the title of deputy sheriff, but they are servants of the community and must be willing to do whatever is needed to help the people of the region.

That commitment reflects the true heart of servant leadership—recognizing a need, taking responsibility, and preparing today to protect others tomorrow.
