2026 Dr. John Clarke Award for Officer of the Year

The Greenwich Police Department is proud to announce that Lieutenant Timothy Kelly has been selected as the recipient of the 2026 Dr. John Clarke Award for Officer of the Year, the Department’s highest and most distinguished honor. 

The Dr. John Clarke Award is named in honor of Dr. John Clarke, whose legacy is defined by the values he championed throughout his career: integrity, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to excellence in public service. The award is reserved for those whose contributions leave a lasting mark on the organization and the community it serves.

Lieutenant Kelly is being recognized for his pivotal role in leading the Greenwich Police Department to full accreditation under the Connecticut Police Officer Standards and Training Council (POSTC), a rigorous, multi-tiered certification process that evaluates every aspect of a department’s operations against professionally recognized benchmarks.

Over the course of two years, Lieutenant Kelly served as the driving force behind the Department’s accreditation effort. He took ownership of the Tier I standards, the foundational requirements that must be not only met but continuously maintained, while simultaneously completing the substantial requirements of Tier II and Tier III. Together, these tiers represent hundreds of individual standards spanning policy development, training compliance, operational review, and administrative documentation.

Thanks to Lieutenant Kelly’s dedication, the Greenwich Police Department now stands fully accredited under all three POSTC tiers, a distinction that signals to the public, peers, and the broader law enforcement community that this Department operates at the highest professional standard.
