Search On for Local Community Safety Champions
Hertfordshire Police Authority is looking for community safety champions to be nominated for one of its Safer Neighbourhood Awards 2012
“The Authority’s Safer Neighbourhood Awards gives us the opportunity to show our appreciation to the exceptional people who help make Hertfordshire one of the safest counties in the country,” said Chairman of the Police Authority, David Lloyd.
“All too often we hear bad news stories and all the good work done by the public and our officers can go unnoticed. We want to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to think about the people who make a difference to their communities and put their name forward for one of our awards.”
Anyone who makes a nomination will be automatically entered into a free prize draw for a £25 book or music voucher.
There are four award categories for members of the public and officers who go above and beyond the call of duty.
• Community Safety Citizen’s Award
This award is for individuals or groups who have made exemplary contributions to the safety and/or reassurance of their local community
• Neighbourhood Police Officer of the Year Award
• Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) of the Year Award
These two awards recognise the officer’s personal skills, local initiatives to combat crime and outstanding working relationships with their communities
• Neighbourhood Policing Team of the Year Award
This recognises the exceptional combined effort of Safer Neighbourhood Policing Teams in engaging with their local communities and working together to make their areas safer and more enjoyable places for people to live or work
Heats for all four awards will be run throughout Hertfordshire with a winner in each category selected from the county’s 10 district and borough areas. All heat winners will be invited to attend the Safer Neighbourhood Awards.
