Nomination Process Now Open for Congressional Badge of Bravery

Every day, federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement officers engage in exceptional acts of bravery while in the line of duty. Often, such acts place the officers involved at personal risk of injury or result in their sustaining a physical injury. To honor these exceptional acts of bravery, the CBOB awards, administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, were established through the Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery Act of 2008. The CBOB nomination period runs from Dec. 15, 2015, through Feb. 15, 2016. All applications must be submitted through the online application system at https://badgeofbravery.ncjrs.gov/NominationForm.aspx.  Visit the website at https://badgeofbravery.ncjrs.gov/help.html for nominee qualifications and submission requirements. At any time throughout the process, you can email AskCBOB@usdoj.gov for assistance.
