Governor Rick Scott honors deputy Brian Fidler with the Governor’s Heroism Award

“In these times when a lot of elected officials have turned their back on law enforcement, we’ve got a great governor in this state who’s had the courage to stand up, support law enforcement and talk about the good things that law enforcement does,” Bradshaw [Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw] said. “We are so fortunate in this state to have a governor that makes the commitment to law enforcement to give us the resources we need, give us the backing we need to do what we do to keep people safe. There’s a lot of places that don’t get that.”

PBSO Sheriff Bradshaw quoted by George Bennett at the Post On Politics blog.

Last Friday morning (1/9/15), Governor Rick Scott honored Lake Worth deputy Brian Fidler with the Governor’s Heroism Award for saving the lives of three children. The award is given to individuals who risk their lives and go “above and beyond the call of duty.”
