Sergeant Terry Reibeling, Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office

SWAT officer Terry Reibeling is the kind of big, tough professional whom other cops like to have around when the chips are down, and he made two heads-up arrests last year that deserve special recognition. Less than a month after the Columbine murders, he pursued a suspicious vehicle that was lurking outside a suburban mosque, uncovered an arsenal of guns and bomb-making materials, and, with the assistance of Denver police, subdued a would-be terrorist. Two months later he responded to a 911 call and tackled a drunk, 300-pound intruder in swim trunks who'd been sexually assaulting a pregnant woman. "This guy is one outstanding sergeant," Sheriff Pat Sullivan said after the second bust. We agree.
