Nominate!

The Greater Palm Springs Chapter will accept up to 350 nominations each month from teachers, parents, police officers, and other adults in the community for school-age children in recognition of their good deeds or positive behavior. With the assistance of the selection committee, five students will be chosen for special recognition each month. They will be invited to a ceremony at the Palm Springs Police Department where the Chief of Police will award them plaques and prize packages, and they will be publicly recognized by program media sponsors KESQ and The Desert Sun. All nominees will receive a DO THE RIGHT THING T-shirt, a certificate of recognition, and a congratulatory letter from Chief Mills.
