Officer Reisenweber Named 2010 Law Enforcement Officer of the YearOn May 19, 2011, the Police Heritage Museum held the 2010 Law Enforcement Awards ceremony in the York County Commissioners meeting room at the York County Administrative Center, 28 East Market Street (the former York County Court House) in downtown York. Officer John K. Reisenweber of the York City Police Department was named the 2010 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year.
The Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award was established in 2000 by the Police Heritage Museum, Inc. to promote a better understanding between law enforcement officers and the citizens they serve by demonstrating the role officers play in their communities' history and growth. By establishing the award, the Police Heritage Museum hopes to meet it's mission by promoting the public trust and support of local law enforcement agencies by showcasing the achievements of local law enforcement officers. In addition, we hope to shed light on the community member that wears a law enforcement uniform. Our thanks are extended to the following for their assistance with the awards ceremony:

The members of the Board of Directors congratulate Corporal Thomas and welcome him to his new position. Tasers Donated to Museum
