(Please read this before you nominate your own or another's site!)

The intent of the Code-3 Award is to recognize those law enforcement related websites which, in my opinion, represent the best. Once a site is nominated, it will be reviewed and if it meets the standards below, that site can display the Code-3 award. Just because a site is nominated does not mean it will automatically qualify to receive the award.

1. Absolutely, NO sites which contain pornography or other questionable content do not qualify.

2. This must be law enforcement or fire related. It can be an official home page to a police, fire, or emergency service department or a personal homepage.

3. Commercial sites will be considered, but this award in no way serves as an endorsement for any service or product that company may sell. These sites must be police or fire related.

4. Personal home pages must be public service related which does include: police or fire patch trading; police items, such as hats, Road Champs, or any other hobby related to the police or fire area. If the site is basically a site that is just "personal" without a police or fire theme, this will not qualify.

5. Sites that promote racism, the overthrow of the government, ideologically, or political views, etc, will not be considered.

6. Basically, it comes down to this: I am looking for a well put together site that is fun to visit, informative, that offers more than, "Here's who I am, my address, and pictures of my friends." I am looking for the unusual, the professional, the humorous sites that leave you with a feeling of, "Hey, that was good enough to bookmark!" Interesting graphics and pictures help too. If your page is nothing but text and links, chances are you won't make it unless it is done in a way that shows a lot of work went into preparing and researching. Also, sites that offer advise to officers or fire fighters, and emergency personal in the area of stress management, "Cop Down" stories which related how the officer survived and overcame the incident will be considered as well. Anything that helps us emergency people to cope are well worth the time to visit. If the site is interesting and shows imagination and obvious the designer put some planning and work into it is a good nomination.

Email me with the website address. Give me a sentence or two what the page is about and if you designed the page or not. (It's fine to nominate your own site!) If you are nominating someone else's page, tell me what you think makes the site outstanding. Once I receive the nomination, I and several others will visit the site and review it. We will discuss the site among ourselves and will get back to you and the site which was nominated. If the sites is awarded the Code 3 website award, the award will be sent to that site with the link code to display the award. If you or that site elects to display the award they have received, it is expected the award with a link to Code 3 will be placed. So if you think you know a place which should be considered, or if you have a site yourself and would like to nominate yourself, push the email button below and submit it!!
