Community service earns Trenton officer honor
By NewsPress Now
A Trenton, Missouri, police officer is being recognized for service to the community.
Sgt. Jeb Walker received the 2024 Enoch B. Morelock Award, which is presented annually by the U.S. Attorney’s Office Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee. He received the recognition of outstanding moral character, service to law enforcement and service to the community last week at the 22nd Annual LECC Training Seminar in Springfield, Missouri.
“Sgt. Walker is an invaluable asset not only to his department but to his community,” said Teresa Moore, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri. “His long tenure in law enforcement, the breadth of his extensive community involvement and his exemplary military service truly exemplify the ideals honored by the Enoch B. Morelock Award.”
Walker has been with the Trenton Police Department for 26 years currently serving in patrol and overseeing all traffic-related incidents. He is also the designated firearms instructor and field training officer.
Walker also volunteers in the community on his school district’s Bright Futures Committee, is a lead ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce and is an integral part of the Christmas Wish Program, along with being a trained volunteer firefighter and president of the underwater rescue team that serves the area.
