The Officer Liaison program with the City of Knoxville has very successful in bridging gaps between the community and the Knoxville Police Department.
In 2019, the Office of Neighborhood Empowerment in partnership with Knoxville Police Department, created the award to honor these great officers that go over and above to help the neighborhoods in which they work.
Officer Eric Parks was named the 2019 winner of the Officer Liaison of the Year Award.
Due to COVID-19, there was not an opportunity to offer and award an officer in 2020.
Officer John Morgan was named the winner of the 2021 award.
