Wednesday night, August 21st, the Pleasant Hill Police Department was pleased to present some earned, and well deserved awards to a few of their Pleasant Hill Officers.
The T.R.I. Award (the Eagle) is awarded monthly to the
officer that has demonstrated Trust, Respect and Integrity which are core
values they strive every day to honor, as well as setting the example day to
day with their work ethic, great attitude and willingness to do what it takes
to accomplish the department’s mission of serving our community. This month’s recipient was their new School
Resource Officer, Officer West. It was
awarded to him from the previous recipient, Officer Ness. It will be up to Officer West to determine
who earns it next month!
Their next award was a Life Saving Award awarded to Lt.
Langsdale from when he was still Sgt. Langsdale. His quick thinking, staying calm under
pressure, and taking appropriate action allowed him to save a member of the community’s
life. The fantastic Pleasant Hill Fire Department
and EMS members (who also did and continue to do a fantastic job) were
consulted and all agreed that Lt. Langsdale was absolutely deserving of this
honor.
Finally, Officer West and Officer Ness were awarded a
Commendation for their efforts this summer when they assisted an elderly member
of the Pleasant Hill community with getting much needed cooler air during a
very hot couple of weeks.
Congratulations go out to these officers who were willing to
go above and beyond for their community.
