Campbell County Police Officer Jake Daley is the 2022 Campbell County Police Department Officer of the Year.
Each year the department nominates an officer for the officer of the year. Several candidates are selected, and those names go to the Campbell County Police Force Merit Board to vote on who wins.
Daley was awarded on Monday at a Campbell County Fiscal Court special meeting by Campbell County Judge/Executive Steve Pendery and Campbell County Police Chief Craig Sorrell.
“Your commitment and dedication can be seen every day, not only through your service to our community as a patrol officer but also through the taking on a variety of additional duties, including serving as a field training officer, evidence and property officer, a member of the Campbell County Special Investigations response team and a firearms instructor,” Sorrell read from the award.
Pendery said there is a collection of talent in the county’s police force.
“If among the talented, you are viewed as one or the best, I think that’s more impressive,” Pendery said. “You rose to the top in the eyes of your peers and in the eyes of all of us.”
