Corporal Jeffrey Farmer of the Littleton Police Department was presented with the Medal of Valor, the highest award in the country for public safety officers, by President Joe Biden Wednesday.  Farmer was recognized for his actions in September 2021, when he and his partner, David Snook, responded to reports of gunfire. While pursuing a suspect to a nearby apartment building, Farmer injured his knee. Shortly afterwards, the suspect shot Snook several times inside the complex.  Despite his injury, Farmer made his way to his injured partner and dragged him to his patrol car while exchanging gunfire with the suspect.
