Officer
Darien Wilson has been selected as the Angels Camp Police Department’s
recipient of the Angels-Murphys Rotary Club’s Officer of the Year award
for 2013. He was recognized along with other colleagues in the public
safety community, last Thursday, April 24th, at an annual luncheon hosted by the Angels-Murphys Rotary Club at Ironstone Winery.
Officer
Wilson was hired by the Angels Camp Police Department in January of
2013, and during his first year on the job has demonstrated that he is a
very motivated individual that can accomplish more than is typical of
most rookie police officers. In addition to leading the department in
arrests for 2013, he has applied for a grant through the California
Office of Traffic Safety, related to special enforcement for driving
under the influence offenses. He is a community-minded team player and a
valuable asset to the department and the community he serves.
On
Tuesday, April 22, Officer Wilson was recognized by MADD, Mothers
Against Drunk Driving, and the California Office of Traffic Safety, for
his efforts related to reducing the number of impaired drivers on the
roadways. In 2013 Officer Wilson made fifty-nine (59) arrests of persons
suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Please join the department in congratulating Officer Wilson for his effort and hard work.
