Detroit Public Safety Foundation honors First Responders with new community focused award

• Nominate a first responder for the new Public Safety Distinguished Service Award

The Detroit Public Safety Foundation (DPSF) is recognizing the work of Detroit’s first responders by creating a new award to be presented at the annual Above & Beyond Awards Ceremony. The Public Safety Distinguished Service Award is an opportunity for the community to nominate individuals within Detroit Police and Detroit Fire who go above and beyond in distinguished service for the community. 

Nominations will be accepted from September 4 to October 9. Any current DPD or DFD employee, sworn or civilian, is eligible for this award. One winner will be selected for DPD and one winner for DFD. There is a brief online application form with one narrative question asking why the individual should be selected for the award. The DPSF will select the winner based on the write up. The winner will be announced by October 21 and recognized at the Above & Beyond Awards Ceremony on November 13 at Ford Field. The person who submitted the nomination will also be invited to attend the event with one complimentary guest ticket.
