The John A. Price
Awards
The International Conference of Police Chaplains is a
professional organization that challenges its members to excellence in
their ministry.
The ICPC Executive Committee established the John A. Price
Awards in January, 1984, to recognize chaplains doing an outstanding job
in their own departments. Each year a chaplain is chosen in each of
three categories:
- Career Chaplain
- Volunteer Chaplain serving in a smaller department
- Volunteer Chaplain serving in a larger department
These awards are presented each year at ICPC's Annual
Training Seminar. The awards are named in honor of the late Chaplain
John A. (Jack) Price who served the Albuquerque, New Mexico, Police
Department. He was ICPC's second President. Jack consistently
demonstrated excellence in his own chaplain ministry, encouraged others
to excellence, and was willing, over and over, to give recognition when
he saw excellence in the chaplaincy of others.
The list of recipients of the Price awards continue to add luster to
the awards themselves. Announcement of the recipients has become a high
point of the closing dinner of each ATS.
And the recipients are . . .
