Honored for their heroic courage and dedication on the job, 27 police officers were lauded by Gov. Deval Patrick and Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray in the House Chamber of the State House yesterday during the 26th annual George L. Hanna Jr. Awards for Bravery ceremony.

Officers from the Boston, Boston College, Brockton, Revere, Springfield, and Framingham police departments, as well as a Massachusetts State Police trooper, were honored for their work in 11 separate incidents, ranging from rescuing two workers in a manhole stricken by noxious fumes to subduing a gunman who opened fire in a crowded nightclub.

“These brave public servants have confronted extraordinary circumstances with courage and compassion, and made our communities better,” Patrick said.
