Title
Presentation of the 2008 Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables "Officer of the Year Award" to Police Officer Antonio Aleman.
Body
[In 1966, the Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables created a program to honor the Coral Gables Police Officer of the Month and the Coral Gables Police Officer of the Year. Nominations from members and employees are received by the Coral Gables Police Department Awards Selection Committee (ASC). The Committee then meets on a monthly basis to discuss the nominations and select the Officer of the Month. The Officer of the Month and a guest are then invited to a Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables Luncheon, and presented with a plaque and a check from the Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables, gift certificates from various Coral Gables businesses, and eight (8) hours of annual leave from the City of Coral Gables.
At the end of each year, members and employees may submit to the ASC nominations for Officer of the Year Award. The ASC will then take those nominations and the officer of the month nominations submitted throughout the year into consideration for selection and award of the Officer of the Year. Once selected, the Coral Gables Officer of the Year will receive a plaque, check, and invitation to a luncheon for him/her and a guest from the Kiwanis Club of Coral Gables, gift certificates from various Coral Gables businesses, and forty (40) hours of annual leave from the City of Coral Gables.
This is the second highest honor that can be bestowed upon a Coral Gables Police Officer.
