During National Police Weekend, the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) paid tribute to the heroic work of dozens of law enforcement officers from across the country at its 28th annual Top Cops Awards dinner in Washington, D.C., on October 15. 

Each year, members of federal, state, county, tribal and local agencies nationwide nominate their fellow officers for actions above and beyond the call of duty during the preceding year. From the hundreds of nominations, an independent committee of national law enforcement representatives selects one case for each of the 50 states and U.S. territories, of which 10 are named Top Cops Award winners.  

Congratulations to all the 2021 honorees for their outstanding service!
