"Today (5/10/26) we gathered together — patrol officers, supervisors, command staff, retirees, families, and friends — to honor the officers who stood out this year during our annual award ceremony.
As officers, accepting awards is never easy. Many of the calls we respond to are during the worst moments of someone’s life. We do not do this job for recognition; most of us simply feel like we are doing the job we took an oath to do.
What is important, however, is recognizing the families who stand beside us through the hard days, sad days, quiet days, and the “I don’t want to talk about it” days. Our families carry this job with us, often without ever seeing firsthand why those days happen. Ceremonies like today give them the opportunity to understand why so many call these officers heroes, even when they don’t see themselves that way.
It was our honor to recognize the following members today:
Life Saving Award:
- Officer David Gove and Officer Joseph Burchill
Honorable Service Award:
- Sergeant John Godino
Leadership Award:
- Lieutenant Michael Colecchi
Exceptional Duty Award:
- Officers Eric Cusson, Nicholas Storelli, David Ricci, Robert Burchill and Timothy Trubiano
Letters of Merit:
- Sergeant Louis Marguerite and Kalman Koblick Detective Tara Lagoa
- Officers Eric Cusson, Jovan Bielski, Andrew Viall, Nicholas Storelli, Robert Young, Derek Mackey, Conor Desmond, Kevin Quinn, Timothy Trubiano, Victoria McVicar, Robert Burchill, Jonathan Butler, Kevin Quinn, David Ricci, Jonathan Giron and Richard Martini
- Clinician Kallie Montagano
Congratulations to all of today’s recipients, and thank you to every member of the Franklin Police Department and their families for your sacrifice, professionalism, and dedication to this community every single day."
