The IACP/Axon Police Office of the Year Award seeks to inspire excellence within the policing profession by celebrating acts of heroism, leadership, and exemplary service.
The IACP and Axon honors Officer Dominique Akins, Officer Zachary Robinson, Detective Michael Collazo, and Officer Rex Engelbert as the 2024 Police Officers of the Year.
