Award of Excellence

Every year, the Mayor recognizes an outstanding City employee with the Mayor’s Award of Excellence.  This year’s winner was announced to the public yesterday.  He is Lincoln police officer Jason Brownell.  Jason was honored for the work he did during 2009 in organizing and producing a drug and alcohol prevention forum at Northeast High School (Go Rockets).

Jason works at Northeast as the school resource officer, one of many assignments he has held during his 10-year career.  He has developed a great rapport with students and staff, as evidenced by the attendance of around 300 students at the event he organized. I was one of the panelists on the stage, but I’ve got to say that the highlight had nothing to do with the program: rather, it was seeing the interaction going on between Officer Brownell and the students.  The respect is evident, as is the friendship. 

Congratulations, Jason, on an honor well-deserved.

If this is the same program that was broadcast, Jason DID a great job! One could tell he was making a connection with his audience and he seemed very comfortable in that setting. Jason's great to work with!

Well deserved. Chief, I was wondering if any other officers from the department have won the Mayor's Award of Excellence in the past and if so who/what/when/where/why? I think it's nice that officers are rewarded for the work they do on a daily basis.

Chief,

B0-033201 - I didn't know that was classified as a weapon; is that a local ordinance prohibiting concealment of such?
