The highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the Officer of the Year Award to one special hero, who will receive a custom designed ring by Rotarian Mark Loren of Mark Loren Designs. Five finalists will be recognized: Staff Officer Darryl Aubuchon, Deputy Chris Meyer and Deputy Michael Zazwirsky (Lee County Sheriff’s Office), Officer David Conticelli (Fort Myers Police Department) and Detective Patricia Enterline (Cape Coral Police Department).
The finalists for “Officer of the Year” were selected in a blind judging process from nominations provided by their respective agencies based on their consistency in going above and beyond the call of duty, the totality of their contribution to the agency and/or community throughout the year, their service as a role model to others and other extraordinary actions.
