Our Awards Program Regional Recognition Awards

In recognising outstanding Police Officers in ACCP’s Member Forces/Services/Departments, Amalgamated Security Services Limited (ASSL) in conjunction with the Association of Caribbean Commissioners of Police (ACCP) have initiated the ASSL/ACCP Regional Recognition Awards Programme.

On a yearly basis, this awards programme will recognize a total of three outstanding Police Officers from member countries of the ACCP, one officer per each of the three categories. The categories are as follows:

The three successful Officers (one Officer for each category) will be recognised at the Annual General Meeting and Conference of the ACCP. Each will be awarded US$5,000.00 and an all-expense paid trip to the conference to receive the awards which include a trophy in addition to the US$5,000.00.

 

The first and second runner up in each category will be awarded a commendatory plaque to be received by the respective Commissioner(s) of Police on their behalf.

 

These awards are intended to recognise officers who by their efforts have contributed significantly to crime reduction, enhancing community relations (with law enforcement), improving general safety and security and have made an overall difference in their police force, communities and by extension nationally and regionally.

Key Elements of the Programme

Top Caribbean Crime Fighter
To ensure a fair chance for officers from smaller forces versus officers from larger forces, the Top Caribbean Crime Fighter will not only be selected by the number of crimes detected by the nominated officers. The ratio between cases assigned to any officers and detected cases by these officers may also be considered. Furthermore, the impact that the case(s) detected by an officer (incl. resulting convictions) had on general safety and security within the respective community (and by extension country and region) will be a main criterion for the judges on the awards programme’s panel.
Top Caribbean Community Policing Officer
The activities a police officer is nominated for must have been received, developed, supported and/or led by the police officer nominated for the award.

The activities will be judged regarding their success rate, effectiveness, problem-orientation and innovation.

The improvement and relationships with the community and persons within the community will also be judged. Additionally a list of community based initiatives the officer is involved in or has introduced with the two year time frame that the judges will be looking into must be produced.

In the instance of Top Caribbean Community Policing Officer recommendations can also be made by members of the community (inclusive of private sector), but still must be endorsed by the immediate supervisor, recommended by the area commander and approved by the Commissioner of Police.
Caribbean Career Move

The nomination must be in relation to an individual’s professional development within a two year period preceding the nomination for the award. The nominees’ professional development (e.g. tertiary education; trainings; overall performance improvement) must have resulted in a noticeable improvement of overall operations within the respective police force and by extension in improved safety and security in police force and communities. Individuals must have the rank of “Inspector” or higher to be eligible for nomination.

All nominations must be received by the last day of February of each year and will be judged by a panel of distinguished judges. Winners will be announced in April of each year and will be awarded at the ACCP Annual General Meeting and Conference of that same year.
