The winner of the individual award category was Brevet Sergeant Jesse Bill from Warmun Multi-Functional Police Facility. The award recognises his exemplary service and dedication in enhancing rapport between police and the local community.

The winner of the team award category was Northampton Police Station, Mid West-Gascoyne District. The officers in this team have been recognised for their ability to cohesively work together and keep residents safe in challenging circumstances. Tropical Cyclone Seroja was category three when it crossed the coast, into an area unprepared for cyclonic winds. Without hesitation, officers established a command post at the Northampton Police Station and ensured the community understood the threat. Together they built a culture of support, safety and security during a time of disaster.
