2022 Winner

Bonnie Locke, Nlets, The International Justice & Public Safety Network

Bonnie also helped lead the effort to create the License Plate Recognition website page under the IACP which has been an invaluable resource to agencies across the country.

Bonnie helped to develop five new working groups that continue to make progress in their work. These include Mobile Best Practices, Tech Resources, CJIS Data Integrity, Mental Health Collaboration with Law Enforcement, and International Working Groups.
