2012 South Bend Officer of the Year


Anthony Dawson, though named officer of the month for just one month during the year 2012, exhibited professionalism, dedication, and devotion to duty throughout the entire year.

Anthony Dawson is now in his eighth year as a police officer, including six with South Bend Police Department. Dawson was named the department’s 2012 officer of the year for his work as a detective with the burglary unit and success as a K-9 handler after transitioning to that job last spring.

He received acknowledgement from his Command Staff and the public for a job well done on many occasions throughout the year in 2012.

His compassion and work ethic is an example to us all. Congratulations to Anthony Dawson, our 2012 Police Officer of the year!
