The Fishers Fifty Club is all about supporting local police officers and firefighters, particularly in the event of duty-related disability or death.  But the club took time Thursday evening to honor police & fire employees often working behind the scenes.

An awards ceremony held at Knowledge Services recognized one worker each from the police and fire departments.

Fishers Sergeant Angela Ellison was the Unsung Hero award winner on the police side.  Sgt. Ellison began her law enforcement career as a patrol officer in 1996.  She has since served as a training officer, winning a number of awards.  She has debriefed agencies around Indiana in the aftermath of difficult situations.  She is very involved in the subject of mental health.

From the Fishers Fire Department, the Unsung Hero Award winner is Captain Neil Sullivan.  He has been with the department 15 years, serving in both fire and emergency services.  His “behind the scenes” work includes time with the Safety and Training Division.  Cpt. Sullivan is known to take new recruits under his wing, providing important one-on-one instruction.

Congratulations to Angela Ellison and Neil Sullivan, winners of the Fifty Club of Fishers Unsung Hero Award.
