Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Jeremy Jensen, Chief of Police DATE: January 24, 2023 RE: Dubuque PD Awards and Recognition Program Introduction The purpose of this memo is to provide information on the Dubuque Police Department awards and recognition program. Background A number of years ago, then Police Chief Mark Dalsing, implemented an awards and recognition program. The purpose of the program was to formally recognize past and present department personnel for their service to the community, for acts which are above and beyond the call of duty, for acts which by their nature are such that the employee places his/her life in jeopardy, or for acts that bring public acclaim to an employee, the department, and the law enforcement profession. Discussion Attached is the Dubuque Police Department Policy reference the Awards and Recognition Program. The policy is comprehensive and covers how to nominate someone, the vetting process, final approval of awards and then the display of such awards. Additionally, employees are recognized in front of their peers during unit meetings, or shift briefings, through a presentation, certificate, and a commendation/citation bar that they can wear on their uniforms. Additionally, officers are allowed to wear a bar that shows specialty units or programs they have been a part of. In January 2022, we held our first Awards and Recognition night. A committee was formed that consisted of employees who were passionate about making sure the event was flawless. The purpose was to formalize the recognition of officers not only in front of their peers but also in front of family and friends. It is hard in a 24/7 business to get everyone together at one time. Invites went out to each employee. The event was held at the Midway Hotel. Snacks and pool passes were provided. The event was a formal event with presentations of the awards, as well as, a family wellness component conducted by our peer support and EAP providers. This event was again held in January 2023 (attached is the program). The night was even bigger, with approximately 150 employees, family and friends in attendance. Employees were Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork encouraged to wear their uniforms with the citation/commendation bar. Again there was formal recognition of awards and promotions, as well as, a presentation from Dr. Nicole Keedy on mental health, and the DPD peer support. Additionally, due to some luck and a passion to give back to first responders, Grammy Award Winner Stokes Nielson provided a short acoustical concert at the end of the night. It should be noted that the formal awards and recognition night is only a small portion of what goes on with the employees of the Dubuque Police Department. The employees of the department have many milestones throughout a year. Whether it be promotions, lateral transfers into another division, or selected to be an instructor, are just a few of those accomplishments. Additionally, employees continue their formal education, attend certifications and participate in the community. Recently, two lieutenants, Bruce Deutsch and Rick Fullmer attended the Northwestern Staff and Command School. Lt. Fullmer graduated on January 20th and Lt. Deutsch will graduate on February 26t". This school is for executive level law enforcement, and to put it in the words of Lt. Deutsch, it was "no joke". The school is 400 hours of instruction and testing on areas such as leadership, law enforcement issues, staffing, resource allocation, statistics, and budget. The course culminates with a department authorized project, that each attendee must present to the class and the department.
