DICKINSON - The Dickinson Police Department has recognized the dedication and bravery of its staff through its hero recognition week this February. From life saving actions to solving human trafficking cases, the department honored its officers, dispatchers and other employees who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
“I see a lot of happiness and joy. I know it's cliche to say, but these kids love to come out (and) just seeing the smile on their faces (is priceless). Most of these kids stick around the whole time and they get to interact with police officers in a different manner to where you don't find a person out there who doesn't have a smile on their face," Dickinson Police Officer Chad Hopponen said.
