It is the policy of the Plymouth Township Police Department to recognize and acknowledge acts of heroism, noteworthy performance and exemplary service by Department members, employees of other police agencies, and private citizens who render a public service in the area of law enforcement. In order to facilitate this effort the Charter Township of Plymouth Police Department has formed an Awards Board to review Michigan Associations of Chiefs of Police (M.A.C.P.) and Department award nominations. The Board is given the responsibility to recommend individuals for the various awards based on set M.A.C.P. and Department criteria.
