The Green Bay Packers are now accepting nominations for the “Packers Protect & Serve Award,” which recognizes exemplary law enforcement officers who go above and beyond the call of duty within the state of Wisconsin.

Nominees should be active, full or part-time law enforcement officers who demonstrate leadership, dedication and a commitment to bettering their communities. Officers nominated should be those who have displayed heroism and/or exhibited extraordinary commitment to public safety, the community and their fellow officers.

Nominators can submit an officer or department for one of four categories: Individual Officer Award, K-9 Award, School Resource Officer Award or Department Award. Fifteen awards will be presented: 12 Individual Officer Awards and one for each of the other three categories.

The Packers Protect & Serve Award is funded by the Packers and the NFL Foundation, with each award recipient receiving a $2,000 grant to benefit his or her department or a nonprofit with which they are involved.
