RYAN HOLLAND, ADAM DUNN, ROBERT JACKSON

^{LEXINGTON PD, KY}

"Neighborhood Resource Officers Ryan Holland, Adam Dunn, and Robert Jackson of the Lexington Police Department recently assisted a homeless Vietnam veteran after a concerned citizen reached out for help.

This moment of compassion is a reminder of how meaningful community policing can be when officers take the time to truly see and support the people they serve."

MATT SCHMIDT

^{ATLANTIC CITY PD, NJ}

"Atlantic City Police Officer Matt Schmidt demonstrated extraordinary courage and compassion when he rescued an injured pit bull struggling in the bay. After the frightened dog escaped from Animal Control and leapt into the water, Schmidt immediately took action. He removed his gear, entered the frigid bay, and swam nearly 100 yards against the current to reach the dog. Using an animal catch pole, he was able to secure the dog and guide him safely back to shore, where he was transported for treatment and later reunited with his owner. Schmidt’s quick thinking, calm leadership, and unwavering commitment reflect the highest standards of service and care within the Atlantic City Police Department."
