Officer Anthony Cyrus -- Sector 113
In the early morning hours when everything appears to be quiet, one only has to wait a few minutes before they will hear, “Unit 137 to radio, mark me out with a citizen at…”
In the month of December First Precinct Officer Anthony Cyrus made 11 felony arrests, seven misdemeanor arrests, served ten warrants, and seized a significant amount of drugs.
Those are his stats, but they do not begin describe his level of commitment to the Department and to sector 113.
“Officer Cyrus is not an officer content with merely answering calls for service,” says Sgt. Donald Davenport. “Cyrus makes it a point to spend every available moment trying to detect and prevent crime.” As an example, Cyrus spent more than 40 hours additional hours during the holidays assisting the FMT unit with their robbery initiatives.
Cyrus also made several outstanding arrests in December. On the 17th, Cyrus approached a group of individuals and obtained their information. One of the individuals had a warrant on file and was arrested. The suspect was carrying a gun and admitted it was the same weapon used in a recent murder.
What is even more impressive is the time and energy Cyrus devotes to his colleagues. “Officer Cyrus does not hesitate when an officer asks for assistance,” said Davenport. “His selfless service makes him a great team player.”
