Categories to choose from are Outstanding Crime Prevention or Community Engagement program, practitioner, unit, and volunteer. We also have the Lifetime Achievement Award and the President’s Award. If you want to nominate someone and the category doesn’t quite fit the menu choices, that’s okay, we’re happy to hear your ideas for new categories.
