A Norridge police sergeant has picked up an esteemed law enforcement accolade meant to laud ethics and professionalism in public service.
Patrol Sgt. Salvatore Auriemma received the Franklin M. Kreml Leadership Award from the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety – previously known as The Traffic Institute, police Chief Brian Goss announced in a news release last month.
The award was established in 1984 by Kreml, who founded the center, to “recognize and encourage the high ethical and professional values and dedication to public service upon which the Center for Public Safety was founded,” according to the release.
Auriemma was selected for the award by his classmates during a 10-week School of Police Staff and Command program at the Center for Public Safety.The release explains that the management program is a “demanding” one that provides police officers with advance training.
Through the program, attending officers get specialized instruction in technical subjects, are presented with current issues and new techniques in the field, and get preparation for senior-level positions in their respective agencies, the release explains.
“At the Norridge Police Department, we are deeply committed to providing the best leadership training for our staff. Programs like the Northwestern Center for Public Safety ensure that our team is prepared to meet the evolving challenges of public safety with professionalism and excellence,” police officials stated in the release.
