The Saginaw Exchange Club has once again honored law enforcement personnel from local police agencies at its annual Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Program.

Exchange Club President John Milne says the police chiefs at the event are showing off their future and current leaders- people who stand to be their future Sergeants, Lieutenants, and even Chiefs.

He says as the tough environment for law enforcement officers continues, these leaders need to be reinforced by their community.

MC’d by Exchange club member and former Saginaw Township Police chief Don Pussehl, this year’s recognition awards were granted to personnel representing City of Saginaw, Saginaw Township, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, BAYANET, Michigan State Police Crime Laboratory, Michigan State Police Tri-City Post, Saginaw County Police Chiefs’ Association, and the Saginaw County Sheriff’s Department.
