Officers Rob Morris and Cedric Connolly today were named the Field Operations Bureau’s 2006 Police Officers of the Year for their teamwork in policing an area just south of downtown.
Officers Morris and Connolly were paired together to work in crime hotspots surrounding the Napier and Sudekum public housing developments. These two officers made an awesome team. In one month alone, they seized a total of eight weapons, including an improvised explosive, a sawed-off shotgun, and other firearms. In that month, they also seized more than 12 grams of cocaine, 160 grams of marijuana, two bullet proof vests, $2750 cash and one car. Many of those arrested were persons of interest in other criminal cases.
“The dedicated and outstanding police work of Rob and Cedric, along with that of officers like them, is the reason overall crime has fallen in Nashville during each of the past three years,” Chief Ronal Serpas said.
Morris is a ten-year police department veteran. Connolly is an eleven-year veteran of the department.
