On Wednesday, January 25, 2012, Officer Jeff Mulligan was honored by Central Alabama CrimeStoppers for his work in the Traffic Division of Prattville Police Department with an Officer of the Year Award.

Jeff recognized a vehicle that a BOLO (be on the lookout) had been issued on earlier that day. He stopped the vehicle and radioed Patrol Officer Greg Varner for backup. Mulligan and Varner put the suspects in cuffs and called in PPD Investigations.

"These two suspects were wanted for burglary," stated Officer Mulligan. "Items from the previous day's burglary were in the vehicle along with drugs. These suspects were booked on 22 felony charges. It was the work of our entire team that put these individuals in jail."

Mayor Bill Gillespie, Officer of the Year Jeff Mulligan, and Chief Tim Huggins.

"I think the award is well-deserved of his years of dedication and training," stated Mayor Bill Gillespie, Jr. "Jeff's spirit of teamwork and "can do" attitude contribute much to the success of our Police Department. I am proud of him and know that he will continue to excel!"

The City of Prattville congratulates Officer Jeff Mulligan and is proud to call him one of our own!
