The annual awards recognize people and organizations involved with initiatives aimed at preventing crime and improving community safety.
Nominees can include youth justice committees, restorative justice programs, victim services groups, police officers or people who have made exceptional contributions to community justice.
“Crime prevention is more than just law enforcement, and the Alberta Community Justice Awards are a way to honour those who target the root causes of crime, assist vulnerable community members, or otherwise promote community safety. If you know someone who does this, please consider nominating them.”
Albertans may submit award nominations in five categories:
- leadership
- innovation
- service enhancement
- community mobilization
- partnerships and collaboration
To nominate a deserving community leader or organization, submit a nomination by noon on March 31.
