Donahue Crossman, a 24-year-old police constable, today became the Lasco Top Cop of the Year.
He won the coveted award from a field of eight other finalists.
Crossman is assigned to Area Four.
It’s the second time in the 10-year history of the award that the Police of the Year has gone to a member in the lowest rank of the force.
Last year, Constable Marvin Franklyn, who has since been promoted to Corporal, created history when he won the award.
Like Franklyn, Crossman was the youngest member of the field of finalists over whom he prevailed.
Significantly, there were two other finalists at the rank of Constable, Garfield Thomas and Dwayne Card.
The first runner-up went to Corporal Marcus Bennett assigned to the Operations portfolio and the second runner-up was Sergeant Fitzgerald Gayle of the Services Branch.
