BROWNSTOWN, MI

The City of Flemingsburg would like to congratulate Officer Jacob Hartzel, Sergeant Daniel Pollock, and Chief Brian Bowling for receiving the Service Member Patriot Award. The Patriot Award is awarded to individual supervisors and co-workers who go above and beyond to support citizen soldiers through a wide range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families, and granting leaves of absence if needed.

These three officers were nominated by Officer Tim Smith of the Flemingsburg Police Department. In addition to serving our community as a police officer, Officer Smith has served as proud member of the Kentucky Army National Guard for 21 years. Officer Smith is a Chief Warrant Officer 3 and is currently serving our country on an active-duty assignment at Fort Rucker, Alabama. He is scheduled to return to our community this summer.

We would like to recognize and thank Officer Smith for his service to our country and for taking the time to nominate his co-workers for their support of our Armed Forces.
