Congratulations Officer Lyons

Congratulations Officer Lyons

Congratulations to Officer Joe Lyons who was recently selected as the “Officer of the Quarter” for his consistently strong performance. Officer Lyons started with the WPD in 2012 after transferring from the Nahant Police Department.  He is a member of our motorcycle unit, the NEMLEC regional motorcycle unit, and is a certified Taser instructor. On September 17, 2017 we received a call for an unarmed robbery in the area of the Sunoco Gas Station on Salem Street and the suspect had fled the scene. Officer Lyons was able to successfully piece together the information, locate the assailant, and take him into custody. He is very thorough, performs at a high level on a consistent basis, and is a mentor to our newer officers.
