At its April 23 work session, the Borough of Clayton honored Crossing Guard Audrey Durham, named Officer Alex Ruiz as Officer of the Year and presented a retirement plaque to Ed Hyder. Chief Franklin made the presentations during the meeting presided over by Mayor Simon.
Chief Franklin presented three recognitions at the Borough of Clayton’s regular council work session on April 23, 2026. "Crossing Guard of the Year - Audrey Durham," the chief announced, and he also identified Alex Ruiz as "Officer of the Year" and presented a retirement plaque to Ed Hyder.
The awards came during the meeting’s opening presentations while Mayor Simon presided and the council conducted roll call.

The recognitions put a spotlight on public-safety personnel and long-serving staff at the municipal level.
