Support the 2025 Dallas Police Awards Banquet: To honor the day-in, day-out valor and commitment of the men and women of the Dallas Police Department, the Friends of the Dallas Police will host the 44th Annual Friends of the Dallas Police Awards Banquet on Monday, November 17, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency Dallas. During this special evening, we will recognize more than 300 officers and professional staff employees who have been selected by the Dallas Police Department’s Meritorious Conduct Board for their leadership, courage, and exceptional service. Each recipient is personally presented their award by the Chief of Police. We invite you to join us in celebrating these outstanding individuals by donating a gift card or in-kind item for this year’s award recipients. Gifts are used to recognize officers and employees receiving department awards and may also be included in special drawings for DPD personnel. Popular donations include sports tickets, performing arts tickets, gift cards, merchandise, and unique experiences — all meaningful ways to show appreciation for those who serve and protect our city every day. For a complete list of annual awards, please visit friendsofthedallaspolice.org .
Our award winners have filled out a survey letting us know of their hobbies, interests, favorite stores and restaurants. The wish list reflects this information and will be used to assemble unique gift packages for each winner and some top award nominees. Please see also see our Amazon wish list on the right hand side of this page for more selections.
