Don’t miss the opportunity to nominate a Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) volunteer, NHW Area or SAPOL member who has made an outstanding impact in making their local area safer and more connected.

This year, we have introduced a specific category for SAPOL police and staff to recognise SAPOL members who have gone above and beyond their role description to support the goals of NHW - the ‘SAPOL Award of Dedication’.

Award categories

• President’s Award
• Volunteer of the Year Award
• Award of Merit
• Certificate of Commendation
• SAPOL Award of Dedication (SAPOL members only)

Nominations close 5pm on Friday 21 August 2026. The nomination form and detailed information about the awards criteria and process are available online here.

To ensure your nomination contains all the information the awards panel will be looking for, we encourage you to read our new Awards Policy, particularly section 3, which outlines the details of each award category.

Let’s celebrate the everyday heroes helping to make South Australia a safer place to live!
