TCSO Awards

Roy Heim - Citizen of the Year

Roy Heim retired from the Tulsa Police Department in 2003 after a thirty-three year law enforcement career. The Townwest and Southside Sertoma Clubs have sponsored the Tulsa Area Law Enforcement Awards since 1989. They select the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office Deputy of the Year, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper of the Year and the Tulsa Emergency Telecommunicator of the Year. Roy has chaired this awards committee since its inception in 1988. He has acted as Master of Ceremonies for the annual banquets, recruited the banquet speakers, gathered the nominations and presented them to the club for voting, coordinated the list of attendees and worked with the caterers on meal set up and, for the first several years, designed the banquet programs.
We are fortunate to have someone like Roy who recognizes the outstanding efforts of law enforcement individuals. His ongoing commitment to honor fellow officers for their dedication to our citizens and community is immensely appreciated.
