Shawano Optimist held their annual Respect for Law week celebration last night and from the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Nick Prey was given the award for all he does for the department, the community, and the kids in the area. From the Shawano Police department Heidi Thaves and K-9 Caryk received the award for all they do and according to Thaves she does this job because this is what she loves to do even though even Woman and Man on the department deserves the award as much as she does. The Shawano Optimist Club each recognizes an officer from the Shawano police Department and a deputy from the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department during Respect for law week May 1st through 7th.
