Dan Pursuit & Outstanding Service Award
Introduction
Beginning in 1982, the California State Juvenile Officers Association began a tradition by presenting one of its outstanding members with an award named in behalf of Dan Pursuit. The award is presented annually at the State Training Seminar. Further, the ASSOCIATION considers an additional award to be presented for outstanding service in the field of JUVENILE JUSTICE. Members, as well as non-members, are eligible for this award which will be named after the ASSOCIATION.
Selection Criteria
The guidelines are intended to be broad and general, thus encouraging many nominations in behalf of individuals who have provided direct service or contributed in another form to the Juvenile Justice System. Examples include literature, legislation, innovative programs, bravery, service methods and procedures, administration of programs for delinquency prevention and control, leadership, education and training, consultation, dedicated service, etc.
