Congratulations to Upper Darby Police Officer Thomas Nee and Collingdale Police Officer William “Fox” Carter. Both were among those selected to receive 2015 Awards of Valor by The National Liberty Museum.

The pair was honored at the 10th annual Awards of Valor Ceremony Wednesday night at the National Liberty Museum in Old City Philadelphia.

Carter is among the supervisors of the Delaware County Southeast Regional Emergency Response Team, as well as assigned patrol duties. He was nominated for his commitment to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder training for police officers and for training for the proper interaction for police with those suffering from PTSD, as well as homeless veterans. He organized a daylong training for officers for more than 75 police and support personnel. In addition, he leads the Toys for Tots campaign, and oversees outreach to fellow officers and community members for used clothing to give to homeless vets in the area.
