Nominations sought for crime-prevention award
Community policing recognition memorializes late Fredericton police Cpl. Craig Bailey
The Fredericton Police Force is looking for suggested candidates for a crime-prevention award named for a late officer who made a difference through his role in community policing.
The city police force issued a news release Monday announcing that nominations are open for the Cpl. Craig Bailey Crime Prevention Memorial Award.
Established by the Fredericton Community Crime Prevention Council, the award spotlights the actions of citizens, volunteers and police officers in the capital who contribute to crime prevention initiatives to make the city a safer place.
The award is named in honour of Bailey, who served as a member of the Fredericton Police Force from 1984 to 1998, the release said, and he made his mark in his role as a community policing officer.
“The Fredericton Police Force acknowledges the significance of partnering with the community on crime-prevention initiatives,” the release said.
“We seek nominations for individuals who go above and beyond to contribute to Fredericton as a safer community through their efforts around police-related crime prevention.”
To qualify as nominees, those being submitted for consideration have to be a resident of the Fredericton area; be a city police officer, auxiliary officer, citizen or group who work directly with the Fredericton Police Force on crime-prevention initiative; and have demonstrated their commitment with noteworthy contributions in terms of time, support or resources to a police force program or initiative focused on crime prevention within the past two years.
