The Haverhill Police Department awarded its employee excellence award for April-June 2019 to Officer Dennis Moriarty, for what the department described as “meritorious service.”
According to his superiors, Moriarty went above and beyond the call of duty during a late April search for a missing autistic child, making him stand out for the honor.
Currently a member of the patrol division, Moriarty has been on the force since 1997.
