The Lamplighter Award for Moral Courage in Law Enforcement
The annual Lamplighter Award for Moral Courage in Law Enforcement recognizes and honors a sworn or civilian member of law enforcement who has devoted themselves to upholding justice and the law, even in the face of great adversity.
Awarded on National Whistleblower Day, the recipient is selected based on their acts of moral courage against corruption, injustice, or misconduct in the criminal justice system. The recipient is celebrated for their commitment to justice and integrity in upholding the law.
Presented by The Lamplighter Project, our annual award recognizes the courage of those who have acted selflessly to protect their communities. Lastly, this award serves as a reminder to all law enforcement officers of the importance of standing up for justice, and the lasting impact of their courage.
