The ceremony took place at the Howard Park Event Center at 219 South St. Louis Boulevard.

Airy works in the Violent Crimes Unit, which investigates some of the most heinous cases in the department.
“I was really thankful my supervisors put me in for it [the award] and really grateful to be part of the violent crimes unit. We had a successful year this year and worked really hard on some really hard cases. So, it’s just an honor to be part of that unit.” said Airy.
