Policy
A Certificate of Appreciation may be presented to any citizen or community organization in recognition of outstanding service to the MPD or for assistance in law enforcement efforts. Any MPD employee may initiate a Citizen’s Appreciation Award. Recommendations, including supporting documentation, shall be forwarded to their Precinct or Division Commander.
The Commander will review the recommendation.
If the award is approved, the Commander or his/her designee may print out the Citizen’s Certificate of Appreciation (located on the MPD website), sign and date it, and present it to the citizen or community.
Citizen Appreciation Awards are handled by the Precinct or Division.
