COMMISSIONER PHIL KEITH RECEIVES leadership Award FROM Attorney general ashcroft
The Department of Justice cited Chief Keith as “a voice for children and a proven leader throughout his 32 years of experience in the fields of criminal justice, public safety, and business administration. Through his positive leadership skills, he has led the Knoxville Police Department to become one of the leading law enforcement agencies in the country, taking on the protection of children as a major objective.”
“I’m honored to praise the law enforcement officers and others who vigorously defend and protect our nation’s children every day,” said Attorney General Ashcroft. “Law enforcement officers are often the first responders when a child is at risk or is missing, and they deserve recognition for their outstanding service and dedication to their communities.” The Department’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) selected the eight 2003 honorees from over 70 nominations received. Assistant Attorney General for Justice Programs and the National AMBER Alert Coordinator, Deborah J. Daniels, spoke to the group about the development of the national AMBER Alert strategy and future plans for the implementation of the recently enacted AMBER legislation. A hearty and sincere “Congratulations!” on a well-deserved honor from everyone at CALEA!
