FARMINGTON — Officer Christoph Mutschin was awarded the Farmington Police Department Officer of the Year award for 2022 on Jan. 10 this year  in recognition of his community relations, proactive efforts, professionalism and discipline.

Officer Mutschin often receives accolades from citizens and community partners alike. He led the department in OUI enforcement, crash investigations, and overall traffic enforcement and safety activity.

He has been credited with life saving efforts as well. In one instance, Officer Mutschin responded to a medical emergency involving a subject in full cardiac arrest. Along with his partner, they conducted several minutes cardiopulmonary resuscitation which allowed paramedics to prepare and administer advanced lifesaving measures that resulted in the patient’s revival.

On another occasion, Officer Mutschin responded to a medical call involving an unresponsive patient. Recognizing signs and symptoms of overdose, he administered Narcan and other supportive measures that resulted in a successful outcome for the patient. Taking further steps, Officer Mutschin helped facilitate co-response by our OPTIONS Liaison who was able to work with the patient on an ongoing basis to seek treatment for their substance use disorder.

Officer Mutschin has successfully taken on several complex criminal investigations resulting in recovery of property, seizures of narcotics, and reports of child abuse and sexual assault. He always seeks self-improvement and demonstrates a desire to foster teamwork within and outside of our organization. He also volunteered to serve as our Civil Rights officer and sought advanced training in the topic.

Please join us in congratulating Officer Mutschin as our 2022 Farmington Police Department Officer of the Year!
