A small town marshal said his key to successful policing is through strong community ties and treating law enforcement as a public service that goes beyond just stopping crime. 'We just need to help each other out, and by doing that your community can grow and come together,' Noel Marshal Randy Wilson told Fox News. 'Then you don't just have your law enforcement looked at as a badge and a gun and authority,' he added.
In April, the Missouri National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials honored Wilson with the statewide 'Peace Officer of the Year' award. Wilson said his style of policing is 'old school' and focuses more on fostering personal relationships with residents. Each morning and afternoon, Wilson attends Noel Elementary drop-off and pick-up to help kids in and out of school and spend time checking in with parents.
