NSP Northern Division Awards

Awards are an inexpensive investment into our patrols and patrollers. It has been proven that having a system of positive recognition has led to
meaningful, positive, and long-term effects on the performance and retention of patrollers. The recognition of contributions and the acknowledgment of accomplishments are core principles of the NSP and have a rich and important history. Furthermore, Awards are fun, inspiring and a worthwhile investment into our patrollers who go above and beyond.

This page features documents that explain what the NSP division and national awards are, how you can submit award nominations (and the related forms for submittal), and our Hall of Fame highlights of outstanding award winners from NSP North.
