OFFICER's Annual Valor Awards
Police officers, like firefighters and doctors, have the challenging job of being their best when a person is having the worst day of their life. The public might take that for granted, but OFFICER Magazine doesn't.
For the second year, we're proud to hold its annual Valor Awards, highlighting some of the outstanding work by law enforcement officers. This year's edition features eight officers whose outstanding work protected their communities and saved lives.
One of this year's honorees, Grand Blanc Township Police Officer Jason Carpentier, helped stop an active shooter at a Michigan church in September 2025, confronting an armed suspect and helping to end the attack that killed four and wounded nine.
