40th Annual Police-Community Relations Awards
Nominations due by 4/1
Nominations are being sought for the 40th Annual Police Community Relations Awards, which is sponsored by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Community Relations Committee. The award recognizes officers and work teams from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department who have made outstanding contributions to the improvement of police community relations in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area.
Officers will be judged on their involvement in helping the community understand the police function and the citizen’s role. Officers will also be considered if they have demonstrated extraordinary efforts in the area of crime prevention and their involvement in aiding neighborhoods in handling their special problems.
Nominations may be made by citizens in the patrol area, Charlotte-Mecklenburg School personnel or students, groups, and individuals.
