Officer Michael Laughlin~ 2nd Place Winner for the State of Oklahoma's Law Enforcement Officer of the Year!

Great job to you both... we are very proud of you! This is the THIRD year in a row that Officers and/or Detectives from the Altus Police Department have been selected as winners to represent the State of Oklahoma as VFW's Law Enforcement Officer of the Year. In 2021, Detective Devin Dickerson & Detective Jonathan Almanza not only placed 1st Place as VFW's Law Enforcement Officers of the Year, but they went on to compete against the winners of each state at nationals, and they both won the title as 2021 VFW's National Officers of the Year! We are very proud of all of our Officer's/Detectives.
The Altus Fire Department was also well represented this year! We would also like to congratulate our partner at the Altus Fire Department... Altus Fire Marshal, Drew George, took home the award of VFW's Firefighter of the Year! Altus, Oklahoma is in great hands with public safety!
