2007 Seattle Police Awards Recipients

Every fall, Seattle Police employees are honored at the Awards Banquet, hosted by the Seattle Police Foundation. Awards are decided in a peer-driven process; employees are nominated by their co-workers and these nominations are reviewed by a panel of sworn and civilian employees.

The Awards Banquet is a fun and celebratory event, which reflects on the achievements and remarkable stories of SPD employees. Community sponsors-local businesses and individuals-fund the event and raise money to support additional Seattle Police Foundation grants.
