Two Local Officers Honored with Trey Hutchison Awards
Two police officers, one from Caddo and one from Bossier, received awards during the 13th Annual Trey Hutchison Awards Banquet.
Each year, the Caddo/Bossier Domestic Violence Task Force "selects nominees in law enforcement from both parishes who, through their tireless efforts in either investigation, prosecution or legislation, have championed the protective rights of domestic violence victims and their families." Bossier City Police Officer Kaycee Richards and Vivian Police Captain Nicole Ellis were this year's recipients.
The banquet was held last Friday to honor the memory of Trey Hutchison, the Bossier City Police officer who was slain in August 2004 while responding to a domestic violence call. The keynote speaker for this year's event was Stella Knight Finch, whose two sisters were killed in domestic violence incidents.
Last year, the task force announced the initiation of a special award regognizing the efforts of a civilian in our community. That Civilian of the Year award was given to honor the life and legacy of the late Caddo Parish District Attorney Charles Rex Scott. This year, the recipient was Mrs. Vicki Britton "for her endless personal dedication and devotion to the victims and families of domestic violence.
