Great to celebrate with KPD the courage, selflessness and dedication of our police professionals at today's Employee Recognition Luncheon.
Congratulations to the three 2021 Officers of the Year -- Patrol Officer Tim Walker and Organized Crime Unit Investigators Brandon Stryker and Brandon Glover; Employees of the Year Shannon Morris and Stacey Payne; and Explorer of the Year Alexander Beatty.
In addition, veteran patrol officer J.D. Hopkins was selected to receive the Mike Waggoner Leadership Award, which is presented annually to an officer who exhibits strong passion, dedication and thoroughness while inspiring those around them to do the same.
Later today, visit the City's website - https://www.knoxvilletn.gov/news or KPD's "News & Alerts" blog - for complete details about the heroic and determined actions of these officers, employees and volunteer that led to their peer recognition.
