2025 POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR NOMINATIONS
Additionally, the 2025 POAM Officer of the Year Award nominations are open!
Each year, POAM honors police officers who courageously and dutifully handle less-than-ideal circumstances as part of their duty. During these situations, the true nature of a human comes to the surface. We believe bravery is required to act honorably and should be acknowledged and rewarded.
