Today’s Good News

Kudos to Officer Aaron Henning who was named Fourth Precinct’s Officer of the Month for July! Officer Henning had an incredibly proactive month, but often goes beyond his regular duties to help solve crimes and make arrests. For example, last month he came into contact with several people who were tagging several downtown buildings with graffiti.

Thanks to his attention to detail and follow-up investigation, he was able to identify and arrest one individual for the vandalism of 19 properties in the Jackson Ward and Monroe Ward areas. But he didn’t stop there. During a traffic stop in which he recovered a firearm, he investigated further and learned that the driver was a convicted felon, resulting in more charges and the removal of an illegal gun from city streets. Thank you and congratulations to Officer Aaron Henning!
