“It’s an honor to accept this award,” Pope said in a news release.

Pope was chosen by his supervisor because of his work ethic, leadership ability, and his consistency in setting an example for other officers.

He began his career with the MPD in August 2014 and is currently a field training officer on the midnight shift.

Pope also has 15 years’ military service in the Army where he was a drill sergeant. He served in Kuwait.
