2006 LMPD Awards Banquets Recipients |
RE: 2006 LMPD Awards Banquets Recipients
AGREED
If there is the possibility of any controversy surrounding an officer getting an award, the award is nixed. This is unacceptable. There should be NO pressure on the department not to award a medal because of the possibility that Louis Coleman will protest.

I agree and disagree. The awards process has been homogenized into something that is ridiculous. YES it is on every platoon in every district there are the ones that go above and beyond the call of duty. I thik there should be valor awards again and I think the "Keeping your pencils stright in your desk drawer awards should be cut out entirely. If you got a street paved, great job, but that is not Police work in my book. Catching crooks and preventing crime is what we get paid for. This Community oriented Policing crap is for the birds. I was filling out Weekly Observation Report on my rookie recently and one of the sections they are graded on relates to making contacts with the community and addressing the needs of groups within the ommunity. My job is to make sure he gets home safe every night and learn how to arrest criminals, not how to figure out the needs of the community.
