Cop who was stabbed while on duty is honored as Omaha's Officer of the Year

I retired from the OPD front desk as a uniformed IST civilian. After Sopia was injured she was transferred on light duty to the front desk. She loves to bake and often bought in baked goods including world class scones for the entire HQ often.

I can't think of a better example of a fine officer.

“I am very honored because I think there are other officers here more deserving than I am,” said Officer of the Year Sophia Jordan.

Police Officer Sophia Jordan said she had to resist the temptation to ask “Why me?” after responding to a call that resulted in her being stabbed.

To Jordan, asking that question implies that it would have been someone else in that situation, and she “wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.”

Because of Jordan’s service, the Omaha Police Foundation named her Officer of the Year at the 15th annual awards luncheon Thursday.

“I am very honored because I think there are other officers here more deserving than I am,” Jordan said.
