Each year, the Professional Insurance Agents Association honors an outstanding emergency service person during their Annual Convention in June.
Nominations are open to police officers, firefighters, rescue squad workers, etc.
PIA looks for persons who have performed particularly courageous acts, or who have done something that prevented a tragedy. In the past, they have honored police officers who have saved lives and firefighters who have pulled people from burning buildings. They have also honored people who have discovered ways to prevent accidents and publicized their findings.
