AWARD PRESENTED TO FORMER LOCAL SHERIFF

The late sheriff Bob BENNETT of Mount Ayr was recently honored as a nominee for the 2006 Law Enforcement Victim Service Award in recognition of his compassion and dedication to victims of crime.

The recognition of the nomination was made in a certificate presented to BENNETT'S wife.

The award was established to honor those in law enforcement who go above and beyond the call of duty to assist victims of crime.

"Victims have received more compassion, assistance and caring through the dedication and efforts of law enforcement officers such as Bob BENNETT," Matthew G. WHITAKER, United States Attorney, Southern District of Iowa, said.

"It was obvious from your nomination that he was an outstanding man who was well respected by his fellow officers and his community," WHITAKER said. "We are sure he is truly missed."
