Last month, Peoria Police Sergeant Kinji Scheideman was selected by the American Legion as Law Officer of the Year. Scheideman earned the honor for his meritorious achievements of service to the citizens of Peoria.
Each year, The American Legion gives its National Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award to a well-rounded law enforcement officer who has exceeded the duty requirements expected of his or her position and has demonstrated a distinct pattern of community service coupled with professional achievement. The award, which especially considers heroic acts, is presented annually at the Legion’s national convention.
