The Board of Aldermen also heard a presentation by Lieutenant Brian Hunt of the Acworth Police Department about Officer Jeffrey Morrow’s designation as the department’s Officer of the Quarter.
“While on patrol in the area of Proctor Landing, Officer Morrow demonstrated exceptional vigilance by identifying a known wanted individual with multiple outstanding felony warrants,” said Hunt.
The suspect fled, and Morrow, with K-9 assistance, tracked and apprehended the suspect.
