The City of Charleston is proud to recognize Master Police Officer Sally Pranger at Employee of the Year for 2020

City of Charleston 2020 Employee of the Year. The city of Charleston is proud to recognize Master Police Officer Sally Pranger, the city’s Employee of the Year for 2020, for her selfless actions to help a family in need.

After responding to a shooting at a Savannah Highway motel, Pranger came into contact with a mother and her three children who were guests of the motel. Because they had been staying with the victim, their room was being treated as a crime scene and access to their food and belongings was blocked.

When MPO Pranger arrived, she began to comfort the inconsolable infant and noticed the other children weren’t wearing shoes. Realizing that the outdoor temperature was dropping, MPO Pranger drove from the scene to a local Walmart, where she purchased slippers for the children, blankets, toys, diapers and formula for the baby.

Of her remarkable act of kindness, Pranger said, “I saw the children needed help and I hope someone would do the same for my child.”

Please join us in congratulating MPO Pranger on this well-deserved honor, and in thanking her for all she does to serve and protect the Charleston community.
