Nominations are now being accepted for our 2024 lifetime achievement awards. If you know a person who has contributed to community policing in Calgary for a decade or more, we want to hear from you!
To help recognize those that have made exceptional contributions to policing in our community over many years, our Commission presents up to two of these awards annually at the Calgary Police Service’s Chief’s Awards Gala each fall.
The Lifetime Achievement in Community Policing Award recognizes one community member each year who has contributed to lasting positive change in the field of policing for a decade or more of their life. Nominees for this can have supported changes by working with the Calgary Police Service as a volunteer, academic, community leader, community partner, or in some other capacity, as long as they were not police employees.
The Lifetime of Distinguished Service Award recognizes one Calgary Police Service employee annually that has contributed to lasting positive change in the field of policing while working in policing or law enforcement for at least 20 years. The award is open to both police officers and civilian employees of the Service, including any former employees that retired or resigned within the past two years.
Anyone can submit a nomination for a deserving individual. All that is required is a nomination letter and two letters of support from people who know the nominee in a different capacity. For information on the awards and to download a nomination form, visit our awards webpage.
Nominations for this year’s lifetime achievement awards are due by Friday, August 23, 2024.
In past years, our Commission recognized members of the community with six different Community Policing Awards. Many of the previous award categories now overlap with awards offered by other organizations, which led to the two lifetime achievement awards replacing the previous categories.
