Selection Process:
All nominations will be distributed equally
to each member on the committee for the purpose of researching and verifying information on
the nomination form. The committee will assemble to present and discuss the nominations individually.
Not more than 3 current distinctions and one veteran nomination will be made annually, so therefore, only the
3 top or fewer nominations will receive recognition. This category of recognition would be under
the veteran's selection and will be considered separate from current consideration. The process for recognition will require a
unanimous vote of all committee members and ties shall be broken through the process of a second vote where the highest number of
1st place ballots will designate the award recipient. Date of notification to the winners and/or their family members will be made by May 30th of each year
to allow time for travel and hotel arrangements.
Award Presentation:
The award presentation will be made at our Annual Summer Conference Awards Banquet.
The award will consist of a caricature facsimile of the award recipient with a bio of the awardee which will emphasize on his/her
contribution to the Florida Police Chief's Association or the Profession of Law Enforcement for the State of Florida or the United States.
The nominee or his family will receive a duplicate award or some type of replica facsimile of the award. The award will be displayed
during the entire Summer Conference before being placed at FPCA Headquarters.
