During National Police Week, the Paradise Valley Police Department came together to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who have fallen in the line of duty, while also recognizing the ongoing commitment of the men and women who serve our community each day.

 

The ceremony, led by Chief F. Carney, highlighted the dedication and accomplishments of department personnel through a series of formal recognitions honoring excellence across all areas of service. Each recognition reflected individuals who consistently uphold the standards and values of the department’s “BE Bulletproof” culture plan through their professionalism, integrity, and commitment to public safety.

 

 

Since joining the department, Officer Sagovnovic has consistently demonstrated professionalism, dependability, and initiative in every aspect of his assignment. Through proactive patrol operations, community outreach, crime-prevention initiatives, and daily interactions with residents, he has established himself as a trusted and highly respected member of the department.

Officer Sagovnovic is not only recognized by his productivity and self-motivation, but also the manner in which he conducts himself—through integrity, respect, teamwork, and a genuine commitment to public safety.

Beyond enforcement activity, Officer Sagovnovic has made a lasting impact through his engagement with residents, participation in outreach initiatives, and consistent representation of the department with professionalism and pride.
