Men and Women of Valor

Photo detail

As Secretary of Public Safety Brian Moran looks on, Police Chief Earl Cook presents the Silver Medal of Valor for Officer Raymond Golden to Sergeant Daniel Briel. On March 16, Officer Golden encountered an extremely dangerous subject who was out of control and threatening the lives of innocent citizens. Given the situation and ineffectiveness of the initial Taser deployment, Golden would have been justified in escalating his force options accessible to him. Golden is credited for saving not only the citizens from harm, but also the life of the subject by using the least amount of force to effect an arrest.
