Nicholas P. Ondo Officer of the Year

^{Mayor Riddle, Nicholas Ondo, and Chief Osborne}

At the regular meeting of the Grove City Borough Council on March 15, 2010,  Grove City Police Chief Dean Osborne and Mayor Randy Riddle presented the 2009 Officer of the Year award to Patrolman Nicholas P. Ondo.

The program, which was started this year by Chief Osborne, is a way of recognizing an officer whose performance was outstanding during the previous year.  The selection was based on a total evaluation of the officer’s performance and included nominations which were submitted by all Department employees.

 Nick has been an officer with the Grove City Police Department since March of 2004.  During the award ceremony, Chief Osborne commended Officer Ondo for ”His professionalism and dedication to the Borough.”   Nick was joined by his family and fellow officers for the award presentation.  He received a plaque and a pin that will be worn on his uniform.  An officer of the year plaque has also been displayed at the Grove City Police Department which will recognize all officers that receive this award.
