Police Week is an
impactful time for our friends in law enforcement. Each year in May officers
from all over the world travel to Washington DC to honor fellow fallen peace
officers. Over 20,000 of our brothers and sisters are recognized on the wall in
Judiciary Square and during the candlelight vigil for having made the ultimate
sacrifice to protect and defend their communities. It is a somber and
reflective time for all of us in public safety but it is also a time to honor our
heroes and act to ensure that every officer’s life has value and that we will
do everything in our power to protect those who protect us.
During police week our
own Safe Call Now® Director of Curriculum and Training, Indianapolis
Metropolitan Police Captain Brian Nanavaty and his agency were honored for their efforts to help our
law enforcement heroes with the 2015 Destination Zero Valor Award forOfficer Wellness. The Destination Zero Project serves to
acknowledge effective safety and wellness initiatives that help drive down
the risk factors that are proven to lead to officer injuries and deaths. From
all of us at Safe Call Now®, Congratulations Captain Nanavaty!
The Destination Zero
Project is a cooperative effort between the Department of Justice’s Bureau
of Justice Assistance and the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
(NLEOMF). For more information on the NLEOMF and the Destination Zero
Project click here.
