The Tampa Police Department has taken to social media to honor one of their own. Officer Holly Burroughs Clifford has been named Community Policing Officer of the Month for October 2025, an accolade highlighting her exceptional dedication to the well-being and improvement of her Tampa community. According to a recent Facebook post by TampaPD, Clifford's approach extends far beyond the call of duty.
It's not just the presence of a badge and a patrolling vehicle that marks her contribution, but the very tangible "go bags" she personally prepares for those in need. These bags are not mere tokens of charity; they are a lifeline, an extended hand, a gesture suggesting a deeper, more personal involvement with the individuals she is sworn to serve. Her actions are surrounding by an aura of compassion, and she doesn't stop at just handouts; she maintains a supportive role in the lives of the people she assists.
The department's Facebook post lauded her for making "a real difference every day." Officer Clifford's dedication, operating with the understanding that bettering individual lives is incremental to the elevation of the community's overall quality of life, is exemplary in its demonstration of this principle.
