Three Coral Springs Police Department employees will be honored by the City Commission for outstanding service and leadership

Coral Springs, Florida – The Coral Springs City Commission will take time during its Wednesday evening meeting to recognize three employees from the Coral Springs Police Department, highlighting their work in leadership, field operations, and civilian support roles.

The annual recognition will honor the department’s supervisor of the year, officer of the year, and civilian of the year for 2025. According to the meeting agenda, Sgt. Brian Koenig has been selected as supervisor of the year, Sgt. Brody Scott as officer of the year, and Alyssa Steckler, a human resources employee, as civilian of the year.

Police Chief Brad Mock praised all three recipients in city documents, noting that each has made meaningful contributions not only to departmental operations but also to the broader Coral Springs community. Their recognition will be part of the commission’s presentations and proclamations segment of the meeting.

Sgt. Brian Koenig, who serves as crimes against persons sergeant and SWAT commander, was recognized for his leadership during high-pressure investigations and critical incidents. Officials credited him with guiding multiple complex cases that required coordination across agencies and rapid decision-making.

Koenig played a key role in multi-jurisdictional arrests and supported a homicide apprehension, according to the agenda materials. He also assisted the FBI in a bank robbery investigation and contributed to a canal death investigation. His work, officials said, often places him at the center of sensitive and fast-moving cases.

“His leadership shows most in high-risk moments,” the agenda said, describing his involvement in several major operations. One of those included establishing and leading a multi-day command post following a plane crash response, while also managing a separate crime scene and overseeing SWAT operations during a barricaded suspect situation.

Beyond field operations, Koenig has also been credited with strengthening the department’s SWAT program. Officials said he helped modernize the unit through expanded multi-agency training efforts, new equipment acquisitions, and the creation of a technical support team designed to improve tactical response capabilities.

Sgt. Brody Scott, recently promoted after being named officer of the year, was recognized for his professionalism and leadership both in daily assignments and in mentoring newer officers. Department officials said his influence extends beyond his rank due to his consistent willingness to assist others and take initiative in complex situations.

“Throughout this evaluation period, Brody consistently went above and beyond, demonstrating a level of ownership, professionalism, and leadership that you don’t always see at his rank,” Mock wrote.

Scott’s work has been especially noted in areas involving traffic investigations and economic crimes, where fellow officers and supervisors frequently seek his guidance. His role as a mentor has also been highlighted, as he continues to support both newer recruits and experienced personnel within the department.

“Brody leads by example in how he treats people, both within the department and in the community,” Mock said. “His work speaks for itself, and he is absolutely deserving of this honor.”

In addition to the sworn officers being recognized, Alyssa Steckler has been named civilian of the year for her extensive work in human resources. Officials said her efforts have played a major role in supporting the department’s workforce of more than 300 sworn and civilian employees.

Steckler has been responsible for reviewing more than 2,000 police applications, along with hundreds of additional applications for the fire department. Her work has helped the city recruit and hire a wide range of personnel, including 12 law enforcement trainees, eight certified officers, eight civilian staff members, six dispatchers, five interns, two seasonal school resource officers, and 19 firefighter/paramedics.

City documents also highlight her contributions to improving recruitment systems. Steckler helped redesign application packets into fillable digital forms, expanded recruitment outreach, and supported the implementation of a citywide performance evaluation system aimed at improving efficiency and accountability.

“It doesn’t stop there,” Mock said. “Alyssa actively supported internship initiatives, attended recruitment events throughout South Florida, volunteered in community programs, and serves on the Keiser University Criminal Justice Advisory Board.”

Officials say her role has been especially important during a competitive hiring environment, where agencies across the region are working to attract and retain qualified personnel.

Together, the three honorees reflect different aspects of the police department’s operations — field leadership, investigative work, and administrative support. City officials say the recognition is intended to highlight not only individual achievement but also the broader teamwork required to maintain public safety in Coral Springs.

The ceremony will take place during Wednesday’s commission meeting as part of the formal presentations and proclamations agenda.
