May 4--OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma Women in Law Enforcement on Thursday honored two Tulsa police officers.
Officer Robin Mendenhall received the Commissioned Woman of the Year Award.
Officer Danielle Bishop received the Bull Dog Award.
Mendenhall, 29, was honored for pulling a woman out of the line of fire after the woman had been shot several times in 2005.
"I needed to get her to safety," Mendenhall said.
The most rewarding part of police work is getting a dangerous person off of the street and preventing people from being crime victims or getting hurt, she said.
