In 2016, one notable accomplishment was her response to Orlando regarding the high profile Pulse nightclub active shooting incident. L/C Supervisor Cunningham is the team Administrator and a certified International Critical Incident Stress Foundation Instructor for the Palm Beach County Critical Incident Stress Management Team (PBCISM). She responded with her team to Orlando to debrief members of the Orlando Police Department, Orange County Sheriff’s Office, FDLE and FBI who were directly involved with that active shooting incident. This response by PBCISM received media attention.

L/C Supervisor Cunningham consistently shows that she has the ability to balance her job, her education and her many involvements. With all that she does, her quality of service to the Police Department, Fire Department and Town has always remains high.

While being honored, L/C Supervisor Cunningham remained humble in her acceptance speech, dedicating the award to her father and retired Palm Beach Police Sergeant, Wayne Stevens.
