Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week Major Daniel Toole with Princeton Police Department.

Major Daniel Toole is an amazing officer, husband, dad of 3, son, and friend. A dedicated member of the Princeton Police Department, Major Toole is known for his commitment to serving and protecting the community he grew up in. With 14 years of experience, Major Toole is deep-rooted in a passion for justice, community service and dedication to law enforcement. He is known for his integrity and compassion, always treating everyone with respect and understanding. Major Toole is a true asset to Princeton, and his positive impact is felt by all.  He loves his job, the county he serves, and his family more than anything. Daniel hates to be recognized for anything but he deserves it more than anything. Daniel and his wife Brittany are newly weds and when Daniel is not serving his community he loves spending his free time with his wife and kids.

Thank you, Daniel, for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do.
