I met Hugo Lopez at our local Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in Cambridge a few years back. What I can confidently say about him is that he is a natural-born leader. He makes a positive impact throughout the gym atmosphere is extremely funny, and has many talents. I believe he possesses the highest traits related to his civilian life and being a police officer. His compassion and Integrity towards people make him the perfect candidate for the Community Role Model Award. He has inspired a few individuals to pursue policing as a career, including myself. Hugo has always been led by example, and I am grateful we crossed paths.
