As a reminder, the Seventh Annual Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service in Community Policing recognizes individual state, local, territorial, or Tribal sworn rank-and-file police officers, deputies and troopers for exceptional efforts in effective policing.
The winning officer(s), deputy/deputies, or trooper(s) will have demonstrated active exceptional performance in one of three areas:
- Innovations in Community Policing
- Criminal Investigations
- Field Operations
By distinguishing and rewarding these efforts, the Department of Justice strives to promote and sustain its national commitment to policing and to advance policing practices that are fair and effective.
Within each category, an award will be given to law enforcement agencies serving small, medium, and large jurisdictions:
- Small: Agencies serving populations fewer than 50,000
- Medium: Agencies serving populations 50,000 to 250,000
- Large: Agencies serving populations over 250,000
