IACP, PARADE MAGAZINE SEEK NOMINATIONS FOR OFFICER OF THE YEAR

Law enforcement can be rewarding and challenging — as well as frustrating and
dangerous — so providing appropriate recognition to deserving officers is very important.

As law enforcement leaders, we must reinforce to the public that the vast majority of the police officers who serve us are dedicated professionals working to make our lives better and our communities safer. To provide such recognition, the International Association of Chiefs of Police and Parade magazine sponsor the Police Officer of the Year Award.

This award symbolizes the highest level of achievement among police officers in the
United States. Nominations may be made for exceptional achievement in any police endeavor, either on-duty or off-duty, including cold cases, community policing, criminal investigation, extraordinary valor, forensic science, policing technology, terrorism, and traffic safety. Nominees may come from virtually any area of law enforcement, from sheriffs’ departments to border and park patrols to standard municipal police agencies. The time frame for eligibility extends from actions performed between June 1, 2008 and May 31, 2009.
