At our February 16 Chamber Luncheon, we will recognize and award the Hoover Firefighter of the Year and the Hoover Police Officer of the Year awards, for the calendar year 2011. For the seventeenth year, the Hoover Area Chamber will recognize these most outstanding community servants for their on-the-job performance. TurnerBatson Architects will sponsor of the Firefighter of the Year Award and the 911 Operator of the Year. Wells Fargo Bank will sponsor the Police Officer of the Year Award and the Jailer of the Year award. The 911 Operator and the Jailer of the Year awards will be predetermined by the Fire and Police Departments, while the Fire and Police Award winners will be selected by an independent committee composed of chamber members.

Supervisors nominating members of their departments were asked to answer basic questions regarding the nominee and provide any additional information they feel will be helpful in determining which individual will be best qualified as the most outstanding department member for the year.

The department chiefs have taken these nominations very seriously every year, and have had each department head or fire station make recommendations and nominations for the award. Police Chief Nick Derzis will also present the award for the Dispatcher of the Year and the Jailer of the Year. Only the committee members will know the winners prior to the meeting. Don't miss this important meeting to see the new officers installed, and to see "Hoover's Finest" representatives recognized.
