HOOVER, Ala. — The National Association of School Resource Officers has announced it will present a regional Exceptional Service Award to Officer Brian Stanglin, a school resource officer with the Tahlequah Police Department.

The award recognizes one recipient in each of NASRO’s 10 regions who demonstrates continuous and sustained service to the school community above and beyond that normally expected of an SRO.

Stanglin will receive the award for a region that includes Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

NASRO will present the award Monday, June 29, during a ceremony as part of its annual National School Safety Conference in Reno, Nevada. During the ceremony, NASRO will also present several other awards, including its Floyd Ledbetter National School Resource Officer of the Year Award.
