Hey all - I know that some departments have no recognition programs, whatsoever (a very sad state of affairs, BTW), but for those who do; does your department have any formal recognition of humanitarian deeds?
LAPD has the Human Relations Medal, intended to recognize employees who go "above and beyond" in their treatment of others. Some of the past recipients have (1) replaced Christmas for a family who had all their gifts stolen, (2) returned a mentally ill homeless man lost in Los Angeles all the way back to Japan after he'd been missing seven years, (3) obtained Vet treatment for a shot dog, belonging to a homeless man, and went on to get that man a job and a home.
Want to know if other PD's have anything similar...
