Patrolman Ed Kunder selected by police department members for the Henry "Rick" Drappi award.

From the Stafford Township Police Department:
Each year the police department honors one of our officers with the Henry “Rick” Drappi award. This award is named in honor of Stafford Township Police Officer Rick Drappi who died in an automobile accident on Sept. 10, 1978.
The award recognizes an officer who consistently displays the unselfish dedication, pride and concern for others that Officer Drappi lived everyday. All employees of the police department vote on the recipient.
Patrolman Ed Kunder was selected as the 2015 recipient of the award. This is a very prestigious award within the police department and Officer Kunder is certainly deserving of the honor.
Officer Ed Kunder joined the Stafford Township Police Department in July 2007. Officer Kunder has received numerous commendations and service medals that include the Police Medal of Excellence and Firearms award.
