The Manitowoc Eagles Club has named their 2024 Manitowoc Police Officer of the Year.
Officer Ali Hansen has served in the Manitowoc Police Department since December 2019 and is currently assigned as a third-shift patrol officer.
In addition to her normal patrol functions, Ali is also a Field Training Officer, Manitowoc Police Cadet Mentor, a member of the Manitowoc SWAT Crisis Negotiation Team, and trained in Crisis Intervention (CIT).
Hansen has also been involved in several events including the annual Stuff the Squad event to raise food and supplies for our local food pantries.
Ali also assisted with Shop with a Cop, where officers team up with children from Big Brothers/Big Sisters and help purchase Christmas gifts for their families.
The Manitowoc Polcie Department says that Hansen positively influences kids involved in local youth athletic programs and has coached figure skating for many years.
This past summer Ali was paired with a young boy to play baseball as part of the Miracle Baseball League.
A banquet to honor Hansen was held last Saturday at the Manitowoc Eagles Club.
