With that in mind, the Executive Board organized the first-ever Officer of the Year Luncheon at the annual conference. The first Officer of the Year Award was awarded to Leneva E. Croskey of the Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, DC. From 1989 through 1995 the Association continued to recognize the Officer of Year at the annual training conference. In 1996, the Executive Board decided to expand the scope of Officer of Year award and adopted three new and separate award categories. They were Singular Act, Outstanding Continuous Service, and Leadership. The following year brought more progressive change to the awards process as the Association was reaching new heights. The Singular Act Award was renamed the Valor Award. In 2001, the Executive Board suggested yet another progressive change to the awards program. The Outstanding Continuous Service Award became the Lifetime Achievement Award. These positive changes have brought the Association to where it is today and the Mid-Atlantic Association of women in Law Enforcement proudly offers awards in three distinct categories; Valor, Lifetime Achievements, and Leadership. Over fifty police officers have received awards from the Mid-Atlantic Association of Women in Law Enforcement. The Association continues its proud tradition of recognizing the achievements and sacrifices of women in law enforcement throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Over the years, some of our award names may have changed but the spirit with which they were given has not.
