Recognizing America’s Finest

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 law enforcement 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. Law enforcement officers from the top ten cases are selected as our TOP COPS Awards® Winners. In each remaining state, one case has been selected for which the officer(s) will receive an Honorable Mention award.

Select a year or type into the search box below to view previous winners and honorable mentions.
