An officer went to her Commissioner for an award, but she walked away with much more. Her fiance arranged an extra special proposal that she didn't see coming, and it left her stunned.

One fiance asked his girlfriend's boss if he would help him propose. The moment was captured on camera and showcased the officer's reaction—she was stunned. This month, her NYPD Commissioner called her in.

She walked into his office as a girlfriend and walked out as a fiancee. The Commissioner gave her a ring instead of the award she thought she was getting. At first, she was confused, but then she turned around.
