 The 2nd Division Officer of the month for September 2012 is Officer Thomas Grace:
On September 12, 2012 Officer T.J. Grace responded to the Park Hill Housing Complex on a domestic with violence run. Upon arrival the victim stated she was in an argument with her boyfriend. The argument escalated and the victim's boyfriend strangled her the point where she lost consciousness. While Officer Grace was speaking with the victim, the boyfriend returned to the area and sat on the porch of a nearby apartment. Officer Grace approached him and the boyfriend immediately ran inside the apartment. Based on Officer Grace’s knowledge and experience he anticipated the subject would run through the apartment and jump out the back window. Officer Grace ran to the rear of the apartment and observed the subject jumping out the window. He continued to flee and ran to the open field behind Patton Ct. A lengthy foot chase ensued which lasted for approximately 4 minutes. The subject eventually ran into the wooded area surrounding the railroad tracks. As back up Officers arrived a perimeter was established so K-9 could respond and start a track. A short time later the wanted subject was taken into custody with the assistance of K-9.
Officer Grace’s determination while chasing the subject is a first rate example of his professionalism. Very few Officers have the desire and ability to pursue a suspect the distance that this foot chase went. Even though Officer Grace was physically exhausted he expertly directed Officers to establish a perimeter and called for assistance from K-9. Once K-9 arrived Officer Grace tracked through the woods and helped locate the suspect. Once located the subject still refused to surrender. Fortunately K-9 was present and the dog was able to convince him to surrender. Officer Grace then assisted the subject out of the woods. Throughout the entire incident Officer maintained a professional demeanor even though physically exhausted. Officer Grace should be commended on his performance and is hereby nominated for Officer of the Month. His expert and diligent work brings great credit to the Louisville Metro Police Department and the Second Division.
