More Information
Thousands of people across the criminal justice system in Gloucestershire do an amazing job. Every day their dedication makes a dramatic difference to people's lives. These awards are your chance to make sure that outstanding performers get the credit they deserve.
The Awards are organised by Gloucestershire Criminal Justice Board in order to:
- recognise outstanding achievement in a variety of fields and boost the confidence of our front line staff and volunteers
- spread the word about the many stories of dedication and courage found in our modern Criminal Justice System
- improve the system as a whole by sharing information and ideas on what works best
To be eligible for an award, you must be a team or individual, working or volunteering in the Criminal Justice System within Gloucestershire. This includes:
- The police
- Crown Prosecution Service
- Her Majesty's Courts Service
- Her Majesty's Prison Service
- The Probation Service
- Youth Justice System
- Criminal Defence Service (including the Public Defender Service)
- Any other organisation or body connected to criminal justice, for example Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships
- We also welcome nominations from any voluntary organisation that works with adults or young people who are victims, witnesses, defendants or offenders
There are ten award categories covering different areas of work in the CJS. In each category one individual or team will be chosen as the winner. The nomination period runs until midday on Friday 12th February 2010. Winners, and their nominator, will be invited to a ceremony at a local hotel to receive their award.
