FEATURE
(To enable awareness of work conducted by Rotarians, experts from a Rotary publication providing an overview of major programs available to Rotary clubs will appear each week. The programs are those with which the club of Liverpool West has involvement. Last week ROMAC was featured).
POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR
Initiated in Darwin as a project to acknowledge the outstanding contribution made by police officers in their daily commitment to community safety, this program has been adopted by a growing number of clubs across Australia.
Its aim is to recognise outstanding acts of courage, compassion, understanding and devotion to duty provided by police officers at the local level. Awards are made annually following an extensive promotional campaign to encourage citizens to nominate officers known to have served in some outstanding capacity.
Organised and directed by Rotary clubs, the program is officially launched at a civic function attended by local dignitaries, senior police officials, the press and other community organisations. Sponsorship is sought from business houses to cover awards, presentation evening and printing.
Press announcements seek nominations from the public. Judging is usually shared between the Rotary Awards committee and Police commanders.
A gala presentation evening with invited guests from the police department, senior management personnel of sponsoring bodies, awards recipients and their partners, local community dignitaries and press representation, serves as the showcase for the project. Awards usually acknowledge all nominees with a framed certificate as well as the recognising the Police Officer of the Year with a plaque and replica of the presented trophy.

This year the Awards will be held on Tuesday 21 September 2010. For details, please refer to Item 3 of the minutes above.
