2009 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year
Officer Benjamin Lippens, Flower Mound Police Department
 

Officer Lippens is currently assigned to the Patrol Division of  the Flower Mound Police Department.  He has demonstrated extraordinary dedication to duty and performance, and was recognized as Police Officer of the Year by his peers for a number of reasons.  Officer Lippens is a highly effective police officer and strives to continually make the Flower Mound Police Department a model for other local law enforcement agencies.   On September 16, 2008, Officer Lippens responded to an attempted Child Abduction in his district.  The following day he returned to the area to give citizens a sense of safety, and to put them at ease.  During a subsequent interview with one of these citizens, Officer Lippens obtained critical information that was provided to FMPD detectives about a probable suspect.  This information led to the expeditious identification, and  arrest, of that suspect.
