Mesquite PD’s Goodsell awarded Best of Badge
School Resource Officer Justin Goodsell of the Mesquite Police Department was awarded Best of the Badge for February 2023.
Goodsell investigated several large incidents at both the middle and elementary schools throughout the month and assisted patrol whenever needed, all while maintaining his regular duties of patrolling HMS with his K9 partner Marley.
Goodsell also felt that all students, teachers, and parents could use a little extra motivation this last semester of school. He coordinated with the school to bring in Ryan Stream, a motivational speaker to talk to students as well as parents, which was a huge success and the positive message resonated with everyone that attended one of the sessions.
