This award provides an opportunity for ISBA members, bar associations and law-related organizations to recognize officers who share the profession’s goal of serving the public and ensuring justice through fair and impartial enforcement.

The award promotes respect for the rule of law and fosters cooperation among members of the law enforcement and legal communities.

Eligible candidates are sworn officers employed full-time by local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

Criteria include individual conduct that in a substantial way facilities better understanding of the criminal justice system, encourages respect for the law, or promotes justice through community service and programs.
