K9 Officer Joe Kyek with the Brookfield Police Department - CT
The Following Letter was submitted and we just couldn’t think of a more deserving Officer.
I would like to nominate K-9 Officer Joseph Kyek of the Brookfield Police Department. Ofc. Kyek is a father of two young kids, and the owner of the newly started trucking company, Brookfield Trucking. Ofc. Kyek dedicated his time to caring for and training with his dog, Major, as well as being a highly active member of Brookfield’s community affairs team. Ofc. Kyek has organized dozens of community outreach programs and drives, including a highly successful Christmas toy drive and “coffee with a cop” events. Ofc. Kyek is also a passionate member of the Brookfield Dive Recovery Team and often assists in the planning and execution of training and real life operations. Throughout his many personal and professional obligations, Ofc. Kyek has remained positive and driven to be an agent of positive change for the department, the community, and his family. For these reasons, I believe Ofc. Kyek deserves this clean-up.
Congratulations K9 Officer Joe Kyek!!!
