Blaine police chief Rodger Funk, r., presented Joe Zaccaria, l., and Jeffery Kennedy with distinguished citizenship awards during the Blaine City Council meeting on January 12. The two were recognized for assisting a Blaine officer who was waiting for backup while attempting to arrest a man who was being disorderly, exposing himself and physically threatening the officer. “They jumped in to help further restrain [the suspect], preventing the need for further use of force, preventing injury to our officer and preventing injury to the suspect,” Funk said.
