Three Colorado police officers nominated for award
HOTCHKISS, Colo. (KREX) — The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) announced Agents James Fuller, Travis Peck, and Richard Tifft recieved Honorable Mention Awards in the 31st Annual TOP COPS Awards. These awards, organized by the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO), honor outstanding police work nationwide.
Agents Fuller, Peck and Tifft were involved in a case in Hotchkiss, Colorado, where they successfully found two missing and endangered children and arrested their grandmother, who was accused of taking them without permission. The investigation lasted for months, including getting search warrants, watching closely and doing thorough research. Eventually, they brought the 10-year-old boy and his 9-year-old sister back safely.
CBI Director Chris Schaefer praised the agents for their hard work not only in this case but also in their everyday efforts to ensure justice in Colorado. These agents are known for their dedication to solving even the most challenging cases.
The TOP COPS Awards recognize police officers nationwide for their exceptional service in the past year. The winners are nominated by their colleagues and chosen by an independent committee. This year, 46 officers have been selected for their outstanding cases, and others, like Fuller, Peck, and Tifft, received Honorable Mention Awards.
The awards ceremony will be held during National Police Week in Washington, D.C., on May 12.
