The Hall recognizes innovative law enforcement practitioners who have been central to the implementation of a high quality research program in their agency and also are relentless champions of institutionalizing evidence-based practices. These leaders of evidence-based policing not only help make high-quality police scholarship possible but also advance significant reforms in policing by utilizing science in their decision making. The 2026 honorees will be inducted on May 22, 2026 at the American Society of Evidence-Based Policing Conference.

Membership Requirements

Nominees must be or have been a member of a law enforcement agency, either as a sworn officer or civilian employee; and
Nominees must have been central to the implementation of documented, rigorous scientific research or analysis in their affiliated agency; and
Nominees must show a significant record of incorporating and translating evidence-based practices into their agency. Such a record of practice might also include greater incorporation of science and scientific processes in decision making or training.

Nomination Instructions

The deadline for nominations for the 2026 Hall of Fame is March 1, 2026. As we will not be holding the CEBCP Symposium this year, recipients will be inducted at the American Society of Evidence-Based Policing Conference (May 2026). Selection decisions are made by a committee that includes the Director of CEBCP, two senior fellows, and one Hall of Fame member. Contributions to support the Hall of Fame Awards and other initiatives of the CEBCP can be made through our 100K for 10 Campaign.
