Dalton Police Honor 2007 Officer Of The Year

The Dalton Police Department honored Police Officer First Class Christopher J. Tucker as the 2007 Officer of The Year at last night's Dalton Elk's Lodge Public Safety Appreciation Banquet. Officer Tucker, who was nominated and selected by his peers, earned the award by his continuous attention to detail, his thorough follow up investigations, leading the department in arrests for DUI, and other factors.

Chief Jason Parker said of Tucker's performance, " Police Officer First Class Tucker is a shift leader, and the officers and supervisors can always count on him to know proper procedures, the law, and can rely on him to use good judgment in all situations."

The Dalton Elk's Lodge honors public safety standouts from local departments each spring, and the banquet is arranged by Mr. Phil Bailey. Dalton Mayor David Pennington delivered the keynote address for the event.
