2008 Seattle Police Department
Citizen Appreciation Awards
The Seattle Police Department could not begin to do the work it does without the support and at times heroic efforts of the people who make up this great city. Each year the department holds an Appreciation Awards Ceremony to honor and thank individuals who have been nominated by SPD employees.

There are two award categories-Outstanding Citizen and Heroism. The Outstanding Citizen award is presented to those individuals who have worked with SPD to address longstanding crime issues or made a significant contribution in improving service. Heroism is awarded for an act of courage intended to save a life, help an injured or vulnerable person, or assist law enforcement. The following individuals were recognized for their contributions during 2008:
