Det. Bill Stitt and Ofc.Randy Regan

In 1971, the Orrville Exchange Club in cooperation with the Orrville Police Department established an "Officer of the Year" Program. The purpose and intent was to provide positive recognition of an officer's efforts and performance during the previous year.

All members of the department cast a vote for up to three officers based on the officer's performance and actions in ten distinct categories as follows:

• Public Contacts

• Interpersonal Relations

• Interest and Enthusiasm

• Personal Appearance

• Overall Ability

• Quality of accident and criminal investigations

• Outstanding leadership or performance of duties

• Commendations, heroism above the call of duty or a serious injury in the line of duty

• Playing a key role in the prevention of a crime or swift apprehension of criminals

• Outstanding performance in leadership of youth and/or the prevention of juvenile delinquency

The officer receiving the highest number of votes is honored as Officer of the Year by the Exchange Club during the month of February. Besides the award lunch the officer receives a framed certificate, a white award ribbon to be worn on the uniform, and the officer's name is inscribed on a plaque displaced in the lobby of the Police Department.
