Indianapolis, Ind. — Indiana State Excise Superintendent Matt Strirrmatter recognized two officers from District 4 recently.
Bradley Whittaker was recognized as the Officer of the Year and Thomas Tully earned the Public Information Officer of the Year award.
Superintendent Strittmatter said, “This is the sixth time, in as many years, that I have had the privilege of presenting the Officer of the Year Awards. Each day, I am reminded of the quality people that make up the Indiana State Excise Police. These officers worked hard to earn their respective awards. The officers that make up the Indiana State Excise Police work diligently to keep Indiana citizens safe. Likewise, they work hard to do their part to keep with Governor Holcomb’s commitment to take Indiana to the next level.”
As the enforcement division of the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission, the primary mission of the Indiana State Excise Police is to promote public safety by enforcing Indiana’s Alcoholic Beverage Code. While excise officers have the authority to enforce any state law, they focus primarily on alcohol, tobacco and related laws.
