What do the award winners receive?
Award recipients will enjoy our VIP treatment, which starts with a fully paid trip to the Annual Conference & Exposition, including registration, travel expenses, and hotel accommodations. This year's conference will be held in Anaheim, California! During the conference, the recipients will be brought on stage to receive their awards in front of thousands. In addition, the recognition does not stop there-they will also be featured in local press releases and in an article in APCO's Public Safety Communications magazine.

The Award Recipients for the Technology Leadership Award shall receive a complimentary "day-pass" registration to the Annual Conference for the day of the award ceremony. A representative from the winning PSAP(s) will be recognized at the annual conference, in Public Safety Communications (the official magazine of APCO International) and on the Web site.
