Officer Honored for 'Selfless Duty and Hard Work'

A Hamilton police officer has been recognized by the American Legion for his “selfless duty and hard work” with the Law Enforcement Certificate of Commendation.

Former AP Gardner American Legion Post 194 Commander Anthony Heath recently presented the award to Officer Jeff Cross with Hamilton Police Chief Russell Stevens also in attendance.

“In the selection process, Officer Cross was continually brought up for his service and good natured abilities in his work here in Hamilton,” Post Commander Greg McKenna said in announcing the award. “The dedication to duty, courage, loyalty and service of Officer Cross falls directly in line with our military and American Legion values.”
