Anne Arundel Community College Public Safety
Officer Lt. Darrell Wallace has been selected to receive the Maryland
Chiefs of Police Association 2012 Exceptional Performance Award (Private
Sector Professional). The award honors officers who exemplify
excellence on the job and will be presented to Wallace at the
association’s annual conference Sept. 9.
Wallace, a
20-year veteran of the Department of Public Safety, began as an officer
and worked his way up the ranks to shift commander. His patrol tactics
and keen observation skills led last year to the apprehension of several
persons charged with using and distributing controlled dangerous
substances. He also was credited with apprehending suspects in the theft
of a catalytic converter and a vending machine break-in. In addition to
his patrol duties, he is a radKIDS instructor, in which he teaches
children on basic awareness and self-defense skills, and is the
college’s point-person for the annual U.S. Marines Toys for Tots
campaign.
AACC Chief
Gary Lyle, director of the department, said Wallace is conscientious and
always goes the extra mile to ensure a safe learning and working
environment. He also commended Wallace for continuing his professional
training from the Maryland Police and Corrections Training Commission,
International Association of Chiefs of Police, Public Agency Training
Council and Penn State University’s Police Executive Development
Training Program.
