Nominations Invited
This year’s event will be held on Friday 7th November at Shangri La Hotel, Sydney. We expect about 500 guests to attend and hope your club will have some representatives there to support a local officer should there be a finalist from your area. You will find booking link below.
 
Police Officers who win a local Rotary award in 2014 are automatically eligible for the State Award. All nominations (including local Rotary winners) then go to a judging panel made up of long serving Rotarians from a cross section of the Districts from which the finalists for the evening will be chosen. Each category will have three finalists and you will be notified of who the finalists are four weeks before the event.
 
If I could ask the following of you it will go a long way to once again making this a highlight on the NSW Police calendar.
 
  • I would ask that you nominate someone in your club to promote this event in your area. Websites, Newsletters and club meetings.
  • If you already have your own local Police Officer of the Year award make sure you contact the Local Area Commander and have them submit the nomination as it can only be done through the Police intranet. They have already been contacted by the Commissioner’s office on how that is done.
  • You may only have one winner of the local award but the Commander should be encouraged to make nominations in some of the other five categories.
  • Can you notify me directly of your local winner so I can double check we receive the nomination from the LAC.
  • If you do not currently run a local Police Officer of the Year award I encourage you give some thought to starting one and join the many others we have running in NSW
  • The Customer Service Award nominations are open to all Rotarians and the General Public. The on-line link to this can be found below. Please encourage your members to make some nominations.
  • Please find a promotional flyer and details of award categories attached to this email.
