Lt. O’Neill receives annual Police Commission Award

The New Hartford Police Commission presented Lt. Timothy P. O’Neill with the 3rd annual “Raymond L. Philo Award of Excellence”.

During the ceremony, held Thursday January 28th, Commissioner John Shaw, who acted as Master of Ceremony, described the significance of this award. For some time, the Commission had wanted to create a way to recognize department members for exemplary service. Commissioner James Spellman reiterated the desire of the board to recognize Chief Philo in a fitting and continuing manner. In establishing criteria, the Commission chose “Professionalism”, “Humility”, “Integrity”, “Leadership” and “Open Mindedness” as characteristics they would look for in a recipient. The “PHILO” award, as it was affectionately dubbed, serves as a perpetual acknowledgement of the service and dedication Chief Philo has given to the department and the community. This award, given annually, will “set the bar” to which officers will strive to achieve Commissioner Shaw said. Last years recipient was Investigator Richard Salamone.
