The City of Lewisville has recently recognized two of its own for their commitment and superior service, as School Resource Officers (SROs) Rock and Heard were presented with the prestigious Lewisville Way Award. According to the Lewisville Police Department, the award was given in appreciation of their impactful work at Lewisville Thrive during the summer season.
The commendation comes after a season where SRO Rock and SRO Heard played a crucial role in not only maintaining but also enhancing security at the community hub, where many students come to gather during their school break. The staff and community members praised their proactive stance, helpful nature, and constant readiness to address concerns, which collectively fostered a secure and nurturing environment for all. The Lewisville Way Award is given to those embodying the city's core ideals, which include valuing people, everyday service, and community-building efforts.
This honor spotlights the importance of positive interactions between law enforcement and the community, particularly with the youth. The officers' presence at Lewisville Thrive demonstrates the lasting impact of community policing when officers actively engage in a manner that goes beyond just ensuring safety but also includes being approachable and supportive.
