Employee of the Year



Each spring the Antioch Police Department organizes an awards ceremony to give recognition to officers, civilian employees, and citizens who have performed extraordinarily well or done something above and beyond. This year, Virginia, the crime analyst for the PD, was awarded Civilian Employee of the Year. Here's the really cool plaque.




And, here are some other shots from the ceremony.


Chief Jim Hyde said some very cool things about his crime analyst... and her access to her math prof daughter for all those "Numb3rs" questions.


VJ was a bit embarrassed by the whole thing, but she didn't seem too nervous and graciously accepted the award and everyone's comments.


Receiving additional certificates from representatives of congressmen and others.


The three officers on the right received the medal of valor award for successfully capturing an armed and very dangerous bad guy... and none of them was hurt. The man at the podium is Kevin Rogers, the sergeant of these officers and a fellow member at Eastside.


Outside the building.


All the award recipients: officers, VJ, and citizens.

And the most coveted prize... parking by the building for a full year!!!
