Nominations Are Now Being Accepted for Canadian Banks' Law Enforcement Award
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/04/13 -- The Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) is now accepting nominations for the 2013 Canadian Banks' Law Enforcement Award (CBLEA), which recognizes outstanding police work in fighting financial crime against Canada's banks and their customers. This year's award will be presented at the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police Conference in Winnipeg, Manitoba on August 21st.
Jointly sponsored by the Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP), the CBLEA Program was launched in 1972 as a means of recognizing meritorious police action displayed by individual officers in combatting bank-related crime.
"Banks in Canada make the security and safety of their employees and customers a top priority. The banking industry works closely with the police to help ensure banks in Canada, and their customers and employees, are protected from financial crimes including robbery and fraud," said William J. Crate, Director, Security & Intelligence at the Canadian Bankers Association. "The reality of financial crime today means that police officers must often investigate cases that cross borders, overlap jurisdictions, and extend into cyberspace. This award allows us to recognize officers who have shown exceptional bravery and resourcefulness when investigating financial crimes against banks."
Nominations from banks and Canadian law enforcement agencies will be accepted by the CBA until April 30, 2013.
