 The Egon Bittner Award is
presented to Chief Executive Officers who have commanded a CALEA Accredited
agency for fifteen or more continuous years. It
was created to recognize these leaders for their significant contributions to
the public safety profession and to CALEA.
Professor Egon Bittner greatly
contributed to CALEA’s early development in 1979-80, and was a CALEA
Commissioner from 1981, during the critical developmental stage of the
organization, through 1988. He was Professor of Sociology at Brandeis University
in Massachusetts, with a national standing on law enforcement issues. Dr.
Bittner brought wisdom and expertise to CALEA’s deliberations and currently
lives in California.
CALEA congratulates and
appreciates award recipients for their hard work and dedication to
professionalism in law enforcement.
