Last night, the Lancaster Police Department came together to celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of our officers, communication technicians, professional staff, volunteers, and community partners during our annual awards ceremony.
The ceremony is about more than awards and recognition. It is an opportunity to reflect on the character, sacrifice, and commitment demonstrated by the men and women who serve our department and community every day. The success, growth, and reputation of the Lancaster Police Department are built through the actions of our people, and we are proud to recognize those who have gone above and beyond in service to others.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Chief Gary D. Lewis Jr. for serving as our guest speaker and sharing his perspective on leadership, service, and the law enforcement profession. We would also like to thank the Lancaster Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association for once again organizing and hosting this event. Their continued support of our department and our personnel helps make this special evening possible each year.
To all of our award recipients, nominees, and members of the Lancaster Police Department family, thank you. Your dedication, professionalism, and compassion continue to make a difference in the lives of those we serve and help make our department an organization our community can be proud of.
