Brownyard Group, an insurance provider for security guard firms, has announced its call for nominations for the W. H. Brownyard Award for Meritorious Service. The Award recognizes a distinguished security officer who has been nominated for demonstrating the best attributes of a security officer while in the execution of his duties. "We are proud to pay tribute to security officers everywhere and in particular, to recognize the one officer judged by our panel to be most deserving," stated Brendan Brownyard, CEO of Brownyard Group.
"This year's recognition celebrates the 20 year tradition established by my father - W.H. Brownyard - in 1987," Brownyard continued. "My father recognized that there are many officers who provide great protection, reduce losses, and often avert danger and tragedy by taking heroic action," he added. The security officer selected as most deserving by an independent panel of judges receives a $2,500 honorarium from Brownyard Group. The company also donates $5,000 to the ASIS (American Society for Industrial Security) Foundation in the name of the guard's employer.
