Principle: A police officer is eligible for a Mayor' s Commendation if the officer has an exemplary record, but not otherwise; an officer eligible for the award who did something this year that exceeded what could be reasonably expected of a police officer should receive the award if the act saved someone' s life. Conclusion: Officer Franklin should receive a Mayor' s Commendation but Officer Penn should not.
 The conclusion that Franklin is more heroic than Penn can be properly drawn from the fact that, in saving the life of an accident victim, Franklin went beyond what could be reasonably expected of a police officer and Penn was merely doing what could be reasonably expected of an officer under the circumstances.
