The Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce announced the Officer and Firefighter of the Year at its Annual Awards Gala on Feb. 5.
Congratulations to Broken Arrow Police Department Detective Brett Burton and Broken Arrow Fire Department Firefighter/Paramedic Seth Rich!
 Detective Burton has been with BAPD for 21 years. He was recognized for his exceptional performance and dedication to the police department.
"There's over 260 officers here that are all each deserving of the same honor. Everybody does their work beyond and above what their normal tasks are for."
 Firefighter Rich, who has been with BAFD for six years, was honored for leadership qualities that normally aren't exhibited until you have reached the pinnacle of a career.
"The award is nominated by peers which makes it even more special to me.”
