Trenton Police Sergeant Honored for Community Service
Kansas City, Mo. – In a heartwarming display of dedication to his community, Trenton Police Sergeant Jeb Walker has been recognized for his outstanding community service.
U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore announced that Sergeant Walker has received the 2024 Enoch B. Morelock Award, an annual recognition of outstanding moral character, service to law enforcement, and service to the community.
The Enoch B. Morelock Award is named in honor of Sullivan County Sheriff Enoch B. Morelock, who was the first recorded line of duty death in the Western District of Missouri on Dec. 19, 1847.
Sergeant Walker has served the Trenton Police Department for 26 years and continues to serve in patrol, overseeing all traffic-related incidents. He is also the designated firearms instructor, OC Instructor, and field training officer.
In addition to his law enforcement duties, Sergeant Walker is actively involved in a number of volunteer activities in his community. He serves on his school district’s Bright Futures Committee, which hosts back to school activities, a food drive, Lunch Buddy Program, and teacher appreciation day among other events. He’s the lead ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce, assisting and leading numerous events throughout the year. He serves as vice president of the local Kiwanis Club and is an integral part of the Christmas Wish Program, securing donations from the Marines Toys for Tots drive for young people who might not otherwise receive Christmas gifts.
Sergeant Walker is also a trained volunteer firefighter and president of the underwater rescue team that serves the area. His extensive military service includes 21 years in the United States Marine Corp Reserves, where he served as a Gunnery Sergeant, and 8 years in the Missouri Army National Guard, where he serves as a Staff Sergeant.
Enoch B. Morelock was appointed the first sheriff of Sullivan County, Mo., in 1845 and was in office for a little over two years. He was shot and killed during a court-ordered sale of the accused’s property. The accused killer, Patrick McIntry, was charged with first-degree murder but was later acquitted. Within a year, Mr. McIntry was found shot to death on the street.
