Do you have an outstanding and dedicated leader within your agency? If so, take the time to recognize them and their accomplishments by nominating them for IACP’s 40 under 40 award.

The IACP’s 40 Under 40 Award is designed to acknowledge the accomplishments of 40 law enforcement professionals, under the age of 40, that demonstrate leadership qualities and are deeply dedicated to their profession. Now in its second year, this prestigious award is an excellent way to recognize the leaders of today and the leaders of tomorrow.

Nominees can be from any agency around the global (federal, state, local, or tribal) and serve in any law enforcement position, sworn or non-sworn. They must be under the age of 40 as of September 1, 2017.

A panel of law enforcement leaders will select the winners based on the following criteria:
