PCR Annual Events

Officer of the Month
(See Officer of the Month section of Precinct 2 Web Page)

Officer of the Year
The PCR also sponsors an Officer of the Year program. This also involves supervisors submitting nominations, which are reviewed by a committee formed from PCR members. The winner is presented with a plaque and honored at a meeting where the nominating resume is read to all in attendance.

Officer Appreciation Day
Each year the Police Community Relations Council sponsors this day and holds a picnic for all the officers of the precinct. All the food and beverages for the event, come from member donations, business donations, or are purchased with PCR funds. It's always a fun day on the parking lot of the precinct. (The PCR usually tries to hold the event in MAY in accordance with National Law Enforcement month.)

Town Meeting
Each year the PCR celebrates Crime Prevention Month by dedicating their October meeting for the purpose of a Town Meeting. They work with the Community Outreach Unit to give special presentations and supply handouts. The Presidents of all the Community Associations and Citizens on Patrol groups are specifically invited and urged to attend.

Holiday Party
The December meeting is always a party for all members and all police officers who are working. Once again the PCR provides everything through donations by members, businesses, community associations, and PCR funding.

The PCR also helps Precinct 2 Sponsor other Special Events...
