East Pikeland Police have honored Officer James Robb as their Police Officer of the Year.

The “award is presented each year to an officer that is chosen by the members of the department without input from management,” police said.

Robb has been a member of the department for only 10 months, but during that time he has become “a very dependable, professional and valuable member of the department.”

Police highlighted some of Robb’s actions, including a June 2014 traffic stop that yielded two arrests and the recovery of a pound of marijuana; and a December 2014 incident in which Robb stopped a man who was breaking into an occupied township home at 4 a.m.

“Officer Robb is always willing to help work shifts even while working another part-time position as a police officer,” police said. “He is an example of the professionalism and dedication of the East Pikeland Township Police Department.”
