Alumni Impact Awards: outstanding leadership on the policing frontline | POLICE NOW
This year we had four award categories, which were:
Outstanding leadership
Nominations for this category will be from alumni who have demonstrated exceptional leadership skills. They will have shown their ability to inspire and motivate others to achieve positive change. This could be within their force or within the community they police and may have been a single piece of work or a long-term project. Their leadership will have led to tangible improvements for victims, communities, or for staff within their force.
Improving public confidence
This category will recognise alumni who have made a significant impact in their community by working to build strong, positive relationships. This could be one victim, through a victim focused investigation or the wider community they are working in. The nominees will have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the challenges their community are facing. This category is focused on the impact of the work and the results, with public confidence being a key factor.
Brilliant community problem solving and Brilliant Investigation
The nominees for this category will showcase how they have utilised good problem-solving techniques or strong investigative skills. They will have used innovative and creative approaches to problem solving, using data to drive decision making. A fundamental part of this category is understanding the method behind the problem solving/investigation. They are likely to have used or contributed to evidence-based policing.
