A South Precinct detective has been named the Field Operations Investigator of the Year for 2006. Detective David Achord, a 17-year-veteran, received the award for tracking down four suspects involved in a brutal home invasion robbery, kidnapping, and rape in November.
Despite beginning his investigation with very little information, Detective Achord was able to locate the first suspect, known only as Cortez, at General Hospital. Cortez had shot himself in the foot during the robbery. A second suspect was also in the hospital room.
Detective Achord interviewed the second suspect who identified the remaining two. All four suspects were arrested and charged with especially aggravated robbery, kidnapping, and rape.
