Bridgeport Police Officers Zorick, Bee Honored with DHFS 5K Top Cop Team Award at Council Meeting

During its rise to becoming one of the area’s premier annual summer events, the Derek Hotsinpiller Fallen Stars 5K has focused on remembrance for law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty (Derek Hotsinpiller was killed in the line of duty as a member of the United States Marshal Service), providing scholarships for students interested in a law enforcement career and providing assistance to law enforcement families in need.

In addition to those worthy causes, the 5K also provides some opportunity for bragging rights, one of which was on display at Monday’s City Council meeting.
