A local police officer was among those honored at an event in Pittsburgh last week.
Officer Mike Sulerud received recognition for heroic and outstanding conduct at the Amen Corner Senator John Heinz Law Enforcement Awards last Friday in Green Tree.
The City sponsored a table at the luncheon which allowed several officers along with Sulerud’s wife and parents to attend. Sulerud was presented with his award by PA Auditor General Tim Defoor as well as former Allegheny County Commissioner Larry Dunn.
Sulerud was critically injured during a stabbing incident in downtown Butler in August of 2021 but was able to recover and return to duty in February of this year.
