Captain Ken DeBoskey and Detective Daniel Inman of the Hamilton Police Department are set to receive Valor Awards at 200 Club of Mercer County’s Annual Luncheon on June 19.
The Valor Award is the highest award bestowed by a 200 Club. It is the only pin allowed to be worn on the uniform of a New Jersey State Police officer outside of its own awards.
The award is presented to an individual who has committed an act of bravery, beyond the call of duty, and at imminent personal risk to his own life and safety.
President of the 200 Club of Mercer County, Greg Blair, said DeBoskey and Inman “embody all that the Valor Award represents.”
“This group of first responders, like so many safety and rescue personnel, put their own lives in danger to protect others. The officers pulled a man from an overturned burning car,” Blair said in a statement. “Their courageous actions saved a life.”
New Jersey Transit Chief of Police, Christopher Trucillo, is scheduled to give the keynote speech at the luncheon at the Stone Terrace by John Henry.
Trucillo’s speech is titled NJ Transit – On Track for the Super Bowl. He is set to discuss how NJ Transit is preparing for the 2014 Super Bowl at Met Life Stadium, which the NFL has billed the first “Mass Transit Super Bowl.”
The 200 Club of Mercer County is one of several hundred associations nationwide dedicated to providing financial assistance to the families of our public safety and rescue personnel who are killed in the line of duty.
