Olmsted County Deputy Tracey Pagel, who was named American Legion 1st District Law Enforcement Officer of the Year this past fall, received the honor for the entire State of Minnesota last night in Eyota!
Deputy Pagel received the honor for her outstanding contributions to law enforcement, including her work in helping save the life of a 3-year-old who was not breathing and didn’t have a pulse following a car crash on Nov. 4, 2019, in rural Olmsted County.
Congratulations, Deputy Pagel, on the well-deserved honor. We are very proud of you and the service you provide to Olmsted County.
