Over the years, he has earned numerous letters of commendation and honorable mentions, as well as receiving the Police Officer of the Year Award in 2002.  In recognition of this award, the Rotary Club of Buffalo Grove will contribute $500 in Jim's name, $250 to the Rotary International Foundation, and the remaining $250 to a charity of his choosing.
