On March 6, 2017, the Officers and Members of the Oregon State Society Daughters of the American Revolution Abigail Scott Duniway Chapter were on hand to present Detective Paul Eves and K9 Officer Brodie with Distinguished Citizen Medals for their distinguished service, community policing and criminal investigation in 2016.
The DAR Distinguished Citizen Medal was introduced in 2013 to recognize individuals eighteen years of age and older, who fulfill the qualities of honor, service, courage, leadership, and patriotism. The DAR Distinguished Citizen Medal is awarded to emergency first responders; active duty military and veterans of the United States Armed Forces; and citizens who have contributed to the defense and security of the community, state, or nation in an exceptional manner. This was the first Distinguished Citizen Medal to be awarded by the Abigail Scott Duniway Chapter of DAR.
