The
Fox Valley chapter is proud to present the Law Enforcement Commendation Award to the members of one of the Police Departments
or Sheriff's Offices in our area as listed below.
Harry Reineke (kd5tmu@gmail.com),
Chairman - Law Enforcement Commendation committee, determines the recipients.
The purpose of the program is to recognize an outstanding member
of the law enforcement community who has served with distinction and
devotion. There are no specific standards
and the chapter solicits recommendations from our members. The award
is usually presented at one of our dinner meetings.
The award consists of an embossed Law Enforcement Commendation Certificate, a handsome Law Enforcement Commendation Medal and an enameled bar
suitable for wear on a uniform.
