Brilliance in Policing Award

The Brilliance in Policing award winners are selected from the entire category winner pool at the discretion of the Commissioner. This award is exclusively sponsored by P&N Bank.

The individual and team winners are committed to promoting collaboration and advocacy for operational requirements and initiatives, whilst demonstrating loyalty to the vision and values of the WA Police Force.

They have demonstrated support and engagement with the WA community, which has in turn fostered a positive relationship with the Agency. All winners are also dedicated to developing and implementing successful policing initiatives, methods, concepts and/or technologies.
