Three local law enforcement officers were named 2023 Law Enforcement Officers of the Year by the Flagler Palm Coast Kiwanis Club.
Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Major Case Detective Adam Gossett was named FCSO’s 2023 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year. Bunnell Police Officer Alton Ogden and Flagler Beach Police Officer Dylan Coffman were also recognized as BPD’s and FBPD’s 2023 Law Enforcement Officers of the Year.
On May 10, the Kiwanis Club held its 17th annual Law Enforcement Officer Appreciation Luncheon and awards ceremony, according to a press release from the FCSO. Gossett joined the FCSO over five years ago and has been a detective for two years.
Gossett was honored with the award for helping rescue a family from a vehicle that had crashed and caught fire on Interstate 95 in April 2022. He helped pull two children away from the crash and used his shirt to stem the bleeding from their injuries until first responders arrived, the press release said.
“The world needs more people like Detective Gossett,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “I’m very proud of Detective Gossett and thank the Flagler Palm Coast Kiwanis Club for recognizing his bravery as well.”
