Officer Garcia was selected as Officer of the Month, the first for 1997, for his diligence and attention to duty. Garcia solved a burglary and recovered property, even before the crime had been reported. Officers from around Connecticut as well as New York and Long Island annually run the race. In addition to the individual awards, there is a three person police team award presented each year. The fastest three times run by officers from the same department are counted towards this team trophy.
Applications are available in the day room.
