Nominations are now open for the Association of Police Communicators (APComm) Recognition Awards 2025.
These prestigious and industry-leading awards for police communicators are in their third year, further to being introduced in 2022.
The awards are designed to recognise the hard work, commitment and good practice of APComm members working in police communicator roles across policing.
The APComm Recognition Awards 2025 will be presented at the Annual APComm Members Academy Conference in November, to individuals or teams who have gone the extra mile or demonstrated exceptional work in police communications.
Nominations opened on Monday 21 July 2025 and will close at midnight on Sunday 31 August 2025.
Any nominations submitted need to meet a category criteria. They will be assessed by a selection of judges and the winners will be announced on Wednesday 26 November 2025 during an awards ceremony at the APComm Academy Conference 2025.
The categories for this year’s awards are:
- Issues, Crisis or Public Confidence
- Innovative use of Media Platforms
- Campaign of the Year
- Inspirational Leader
- Employee Engagement Initiative
- Working in Partnership
- Lifetime Achievement Award
Any nomination should be for work which has taken place over the last 12 months (April 2024 – April 2025).
This year we are pleased to share that some of our awards are sponsored. The sponsors so far are: Visav (our Gold sponsor for 2025), Pulse (who also sponsored our Virtual Academy back in May), and Orlo (who are keen supporters of police communications). All sponsors will be present on Awards night during Academy 2025. We look forward to announcing more sponsors in the run up to our annual in person event. All money raised from sponsorship is being invested in the professional development and recognition of police communicators.

Nominations will close at midnight on Sunday 31 August 2024.
