Congratulations to Senior Corporal Herbert Cotner for receiving the Hope Recognition Award at this year’s Gratitude for Giving celebration. The Gratitude for Giving celebration, which is put on by Sierra Tucson, is an annual event to honor professionals in our Dallas communities for their years of giving to others. The hope recognition honors a professional who has contributed to prevention and education on matters ranging from substance abuse to crises intervention. An honorary breakfast was served at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek.

Senior Corporal Cotner has been the Crisis Intervention Behavioral Health Liaison for the Dallas Police Department since 2006. Senior Corporal Cotner’s dedication to teaching best practices in crises intervention not only to the officers of the Dallas Police Department but on a national stage has earned him the recognition and respect of the behavioral health community. Thank you Senior Corporal Cotner for your continued hard work and dedication to Dallas Police Department and the community.
