26-028 Department Award Nomination Memo Forwarding Process
Department Notice
This document is not an official representation of the published policy. To access the official signed policy, please submit a request through our Public Records Request Portal.
The purpose of this notice is to ensure a streamlined procedure for tracking the awards nomination package through the entirety of the process.
Per DGO 3.09 Department Awards, the Commanding Officer shall send the nomination package through the chain of command to the Chief of Police. Effective immediately, Commanding Officers shall forward nomination packages directly to the Police Commission Office, who will then forward the package through the chain of command on their behalf. This change ensures that the Police Commission Office can assign a tracking number to each nomination and monitor it through the full lifecycle of the nomination awards process.
All nomination packages that are sent to the Police Commission Office shall include the memoranda and supporting documents such as the incident report, CAD, and BWC if available.
The nomination packet can be sent to the Police Commission as either a hard copy with all media on a thumb drive or by email to the below email address.
