Casper officers earn state law enforcement awards - Casper, WY Oil City News - Oil City News
CASPER, Wyo. — Several Casper-based police officers and a sheriff’s office investigator were among those honored Tuesday, May 3, in Lander for their work on criminal cases.
“It is my great honor to recognize those in our community who go above and beyond to protect our children, our community and our way of life in Wyoming,” U.S. Attorney Bob Murray said. “Those honored never seek recognition, but it is important to let the public know about the accomplishments of our law enforcement and community members. I thank each and every one of them for their continued service.”
The awards were presented by assistant U.S. attorneys and were based on complex or remarkable cases that fell into specific criminal categories, a news release states.
Casper Police Department officers earning awards for their work on violent crime include detectives Tiffany Elhart and Aaron Trujillo, Sgt. Todd Wells, and officers Mitch Hill, Brenden LaPointe, Josh Albrecht and Sam Dunnuck.
For work on internet crimes against children, Natrona County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Drew Cotton received an award.
“These men and women consistently face danger as they make arrests and investigate crime that impacts communities across the District of Wyoming,” said Nicole Romine, chief of the Criminal Division for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. “These awards recognize some of the most complex federal cases our office worked in 2021 — involving large amounts of money and/or drugs, as well as discernible impacts to victims, and resulting in successful prosecution that made our communities safer.”
The awards were announced at the Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee awards ceremony.
