Second time around

For the second time in his law enforcement
career, Wayne Police Sgt. Nicholas Boruta,
center, was honored as the city 2020 Officer of
the Year in ceremonies earlier this month.
Boruta was selected for the honor by the
department awards committee, which
includes patrol officers, command officers,
and Police Chief Ryan Strong, left. Boruta
was selected due to his consistent profession-
alism, calm demeanor, and ability to mentor
younger officers, according to the proclama-
tion at the regular meeting of the Wayne City
Council, read by Mayor John Rhaesa, right.
Strong told the council members and audi-
ence that Boruta “was the lead investigator on
a fatal shooting in 2020 and did an excellent
job. I have worked with Sgt. Boruta in several
capacities during his career, and I have
always found him to be hard working and pro-
fessional. He is a true asset to this depart-
ment,” Strong said.”
