Thomas W Cernock outstanding service award, March 2018
A break-in crew from the Chicago area came down to Indianapolis and ran a car through the exterior doors of Saks Fifth Avenue. I was there when it happened and called the police. I had descriptions of vehicles that were there. My sudden arrival just after they broke in caused them to dump most of the merchandise they grabbed so that they could escape. My quick actions not only saved Saks Fifth Avenue thousands of dollars, but my descriptions of the vehicles got one of those vehicles caught three hours later, and the people in it tried in court.
