2021 Top Cops Awards

2021 Top Cops Awards

TC2021pic.gif Each year since 1994 NAPO has presented the TOP COPS Awards®   Ceremony.  The purpose of the TOP COPS Awards® is to educate the   American public about our nation’s heroes and to pay tribute to law   enforcement officers in federal, state, county, tribal and local agencies from   across the country for actions above and beyond the call of duty during the   preceding year. Our TOP COPS are nominated by fellow officers. An independent Awards Selection Committee comprised of national law enforcement representatives select, from hundreds of nominations, one TOP COP case from each of the 50 States and U.S. territories. Officers from the top ten cases are selected as our TOP COPS Award® Winners. In each remaining state, one case has been selected for which the officer(s) will receive an Honorable Mention award.

The 28th Annual TOP COPS Awards Dinner

Will be held on Friday, October 15, 2021
at the Omni Shoreham Hotel
 
in Washington, D.C. in conjunction with
the in person events of National Police Week.
