About the WA Police Officer of the Year Award

The WA Police Officer of the Year Award was launched in 1973 by the Rotary Club of East Perth. It is proudly sponsored by the Burswood Entertainment Complex, Police and Nurses Credit Society, 6PR and 96FM. The award recognises the hard work all police officers contribute to our society.

The officers nominated highlight that police work is both varied and challenging and greatly affects people from all walks of life. Policing is not only a job, it is a way of life. Recognising a police officer with a nomination reinforces that members of the police are not simply uniforms, but also community members who share the same concerns as others.
