The Martinsville Police Department, in partnership with Jarrett Marketing LLC, has named Officer Justin Havens as Officer of the Quarter.
The award, voted on by senior members of the department, recognizes officers who demonstrate exceptional dedication and service to both the department and the community.
Havens joined the Martinsville Police Department just over a year ago. Before becoming an officer, he worked for two years as a 911 dispatcher at the Martinsville-Henry County Communications Center and later served for four years as a firefighter and EMT with the Martinsville Fire & EMS Department. He is currently assigned to the Patrol Division and also serves as a medic on the department’s SWAT team.
Local businesses, including Chopstix Martinsville, McDonald’s (Commonwealth Blvd.), Food Lion (Stanleytown), and Hollywood Cinema, contributed free meals and movie passes in recognition of Havens’ achievement.
