AUBURN POLICE DEPARTMENT – 2025 AWARDS BANQUET
Last Friday evening, the Auburn Police Department gathered to celebrate our team and reflect on the accomplishments and exceptional work done in 2025. This annual event is our opportunity to pause, reconnect, and honor the professionalism, dedication, and commitment demonstrated every day by the men and women of this agency.
As Chief Jason Moen shared so perfectly:
“Tonight is one of my favorite events of the year. In policing, we spend a lot of time dealing with problems…we don’t always take enough time to stop and recognize the incredible work being done every single day by the people in this organization. Tonight gives us that opportunity.
The awards presented this evening recognize exceptional accomplishments, acts of courage, outstanding service, leadership, professionalism, and commitment to our community. But what I hope everyone remembers is that these awards represent much more than individual achievements. They represent teamwork. Every accomplishment we celebrate tonight is built upon the efforts of an entire team working together toward a common mission.”
We are proud of our officers, staff, and the community partners who support us, especially Steve Pray and the incredible team at Hammond Lumber Company, who so generously make this event possible for our employees each year.
Congratulations to all who were recognized — your hard work and dedication continue to make Auburn a safer, stronger community.
