The Broadmoor board voted this week to join the Fair Park Residents Association to create an awards program to recognize the great work being done by the Little Rock and University of Arkansas at Little Rock police departments. Here's a description of the program:
“University District Officer of the Year” awards
Idea:
- To recognize the efforts of our Police (LRPD & UALR).
Benefits:
- For the neighborhoods to begin taking “ownership” of the University District.
- To increase awareness of our neighborhoods by both Police Departments.
- To increase the partnership of our two neighborhoods.
Plan:
- Both neighborhoods approve the “University District Officer of the Year” awards and agree on sharing the costs.
- The “University District Officer of the Year” award is then established for one (1) LRPD Officer and one (1) UALR Officer to be recipient.
- The criteria for the award would be direct actions by an Officer to stop, prevent or reduce crime within the University District boundaries. The Chief of each Police Department would submit three (3) nominations.
- A joint committee of two members of each neighborhood (appointed by the respective organization) would be the selection committee.
- The joint selection committee, by majority, would select the recipient, one from each Police Department.
- A letter would be sent to both Chiefs explaining the award and requesting three (3) nominations.
- A date for the award ceremony would be picked that works for both
associations. - The award ceremony is suggested to be at Broadmoor’s clubhouse. Press releases and invitations would be sent for the award ceremony. The Mayor, City Directors, UALR Chancellor, Vice Chancellors, Chiefs, all nominees and family would be invited.
