2008 Law and Order Program under way The Department Law and Order Committee is encouraging all Post, County, and District Officers to present Law and Order awards to outstanding civilian, police, and firefighters in their local area. It is felt that this program is one of the very best ways to enhance the image of your Post and The American Legion, and at the same time, recognize outstanding individuals within your community. Special certificates of recognition for prominent police officers and firefighters are available free upon request from Department Headquarters. These certificates are signed by the Department Commander and Adjutant and contain spaces for the signatures of the Post Commander and Adjutant. The Department of Ohio also recognizes the most outstanding Police Officer, Firefighter, and Civilian Life Saver of the Year. All nominations are to be submitted by Posts to their respective District Commanders. Districts then judge the nominations and submit the winners to Department Headquarters for judging by the Department Law and Order committee. Entries must be received at Department Headquarters by 12:00 noon, June 2, 2008. Information concerning the awards was mailed to all posts this past November. To request a packet contact Event & Support Staff Director, Brenda McGowan, at Department Headquarters.
