SAFE CALL NOW: National Police Week... My Experience

Safe Call Now®'s Captain Brian Nanavaty - Destination Zero Award Winner

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.
