TOGETHER SERVING THE COMMUNITY

• Currently there are over 40 local POOTY awards held annually in NSW

• Our aim was to increase the recognition of these awards and the brand of Rotary and membership opportunities on a State basis

• All local winners would automatically be nominated for a Gala State event to be held in Sydney

• For areas without a Local Rotary award the

local Police Commander could nominate officers

AWARDS CONCEPT

The awards cover six (6) categories

The two (2) main categories - the overall winner is chosen

• Field Operations & • Specialist Operations

Plus• Volunteer of the Year• Police Employee of the Year• Community Award• Customer Service Excellence Award

All nominations are online through a secure server with over 400 nominations received last year

AWARDS & PROCEDURES

• All nominations are reviewed by a selection panel of PDG’s and PP’s from multiple districts

• No Police Officers are involved in the selection process but an officer is assigned for answering technical questions generated from the nomination
