The nomination period closes on Friday 24 July 2009 and all nominations must be emailed to lcjb@dorset.pnn.police.uk.
All relevant nominations will also be forwarded onto the National Justice Awards competition – where Dorset has enjoyed success in recent years, picking up three national awards in just four years!
These awards are predominantly for staff to recognise their criminal justice colleagues – but if you have experienced an exceptional level of service from someone working or volunteering within Dorset’s criminal justice system please feel free to nominate them for an award.
Dorset’s criminal justice system is made up of staff working within Dorset Police, the Crown Prosecution Service, HM Courts Service, Dorset Probation Area, HM Prison Service, Dorset Youth Offending Team and Bournemouth & Poole Youth Offending Team. Volunteers within organisations such as Victim Support and the Witness Service can also be nominated for awards.
