About This Opportunity

He then passed the car in front of him and placed his cruiser between the two vehicles. A head on collision occurred in which he was killed. Two innocent civilian's lives were saved by his heroic actions that day. This award honors Deputy Kotfila's life and is open to all Criminal Justice majors at Westfield State University.
