CROSBY NAMED POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR
American Legion Post 48 in Brenham has chosen Officer Eric Crosby of the Brenham Police Department for a prestigious honor.
Last (Thursday) night, Crosby received the 2023 Police Officer of the Year Award.
The American Legion gives the award out annually to a well-rounded law enforcement officer who has exceeded the duty requirements expected of his or her position.
The award also considers heroic acts, community service, volunteerism, and public service.
Brenham Police Chief Ron Parker said in a statement that they are extremely proud of Officer Crosby and the recognition of this very special award from the American Legion.
Crosby started his career with the Brenham Police Department on March 14, 2022, and has distinguished himself with supervisors, his fellow officers, and citizens with his service.
Prior to joining the Brenham Police Department, Crosby was a member of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the Columbus Police Department.
Well deserved, Officer Eric Crosby.. I am so proud of you and I am so thankful you were a student in my class at Brenham Middle School. Keep reaching for your goals and dreams!
Wow congratulations! In his first year as a police officer in Brenham. Great job on this prestigious award.
Congratulations to BPD officer Crosby. Why is our Sheriff not being able to keep officers like this for our county? Maybe salary? Our county commissioner needs to at the least match what BPD pays. Why do we have so many EMS paramedic supervisors? They seem to have lots of free time like hanging around business for half an hour. What do these guys actually do? Does a real paramedic need to be supervised to access,treat and transport a patient? Why isn’t our taxpayer fund evenly distributed among departments?
100% deserves this recognition.
