John Biernat is a practicing attorney and a member of the State Bar of Michigan. He is currently an associate attorney at Padilla Law Group, a law firm based in Birmingham, Michigan. Prior to his career in the legal profession, he served as a patrol officer at the Harper Woods Police Department, Harper Woods, Michigan. During this time, John Biernat received several awards and honors, including the highly coveted Medal of Valor in 2012.
Created by the US Congress in 2001, the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor is the most significant national award for valor given to a public safety officer. Presented by the president or vice president, the award honors brave public safety officers who prioritize saving or protecting human life over their own personal safety. Before receiving a Medal of Valor, public safety officers must receive a nomination from the chief executive officer of their respective agencies. For example, the police commissioner of a specific police department must first nominate one of the department’s officers before the officer can receive the award. The nomination, however, must be recommended by the bipartisan Medal of Valor Review under the citation of the attorney general. In addition, the selection process often includes reviewing the background of the Medal of Valor nominees. Comments are closed.
