Constable Donahue Crossman Is The LASCO/JCF Police Officer of the Year 2009
24-year-old constable Donahue Crossman, who is assigned to Area Four, was announced yesterday as the LASCO/JCF Police Officer of the Year for 2009. He won from a field of nine finalists (see list here), and dedicated the award to his late mother, Norma Crossman. First runner-up was Corporal Marcus Bennett of the Operations Portfolio, and second runner-up was Sergeant Fitzgerald Gayle of the Services Branch.
It was just the second time in the ten year history of this annual award, that it has gone to a member in the lowest rank of the force. Last year, Constable Marvin Franklyn (who has since been promoted to corporal) created history when he won the award. Both Franklyn and Crossman were the youngest members of the field of finalists for their respective years.
Present at yesterday’s awards which took place at the Hilton Hotel were:
- Lasco Chairman, Lascelles Chin (the man who initiated the Police Officer of the Year Award)
- President of the Jamaica Bankers’ Association, Minna Israel (who was the guest speaker)
- Minister of National Security, Dwight Nelson
- Commissioner of Police, Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin
