Each of the nominees live and breathe the core values of our Force; and it is their ongoing efforts, hard work and commitment that helps to raise the community’s confidence in policing. This year nominations spanned across almost every area of our diverse police force and highlighted the challenging, and yet often unnoticed work performed by our dedicated police officers, all of which has a huge positive impact to our community.

It is an incredible achievement to be nominated, and everyone who received a nomination, or those shortlisted should all be hugely proud of themselves and their accomplishments.

A big thank you to everyone who took the time to submit a nomination – without your support and input we wouldn’t be able to continue to recognise our great people - so thank you!

The winners will be announced at an awards breakfast at Optus Stadium on Thursday December 8th, 2022. Best of luck to everyone involved, and we look forward to sharing the names and stories of our very deserving winners with you all in December – stay tuned!
