Oscar Kilo Awards

The Oscar Kilo Awards have been created to recognise the amazing work that has been done, and continues to be done, to provide wellbeing support across UK policing.

Each year we ask forces to tell us about any work or projects that they feel have made a difference to the wellbeing of their officers and staff.

Award categories

This year, we've taken a fresh approach to our awards categories. We have done this based on feedback from forces and with the aim of making it easier to shout about the work you're doing and connecting it to national approaches. 

Below are the new categories and the application criteria for each category.

The categories

  • Peer support
  • OK9 wellbeing dogs
  • Operation Hampshire
  • Healthy living (sleep and fatigue, physical fitness, nutrition)
  • Occupational health
  • Trauma support and suicide prevention
  • Support for police families or police leavers
  • Staff engagement
