A local law enforcement officer is being recognized for his outstanding service to our community.

The Somerset Police Department commends Officer Chris Gates for being selected as the 2022 Officer of the Year.  

Supervisors made the nominations and were asked to provide a detailed explanation of why each officer was nominated and worthy of being recognized as the Officer of the Year.

Once the nominations were submitted, each was sent out to all supervisors within the department for a vote.  This was a daunting task due to the number of outstanding nominations.

The Somerset Police Department would like to commend Officer Gates for his professional commitment to this department and community; it is greatly appreciated.

Again, congratulations to Somerset Police Officer Chris Gates.
