Bellevue Police Officer Trevor Bonar was selected by the International Association of Chiefs of Police as a recipient of the 40 Under 40 Award.
The annual award recognizes 40 law enforcement professionals under 40 years old from around the world who demonstrate leadership, exemplify commitment to their profession, and positively impact their agencies, communities and the field of policing.
The awardees represent the leaders of policing, regardless of rank or title.
This year’s class represents sworn and civilian professionals serving in roles ranging from military special agents to community liaisons and span the gamut of experience, including new professionals, veterans of two decades and those who found a passion for service after starting in a different field.
They serve communities around the globe, representing six countries, and their home agencies range from small local police departments and sheriff’s offices to large national police agencies.
The Bellevue Police Department announced Bonar’s win via Facebook and said that each winner was chosen for their demonstration of values, leadership capability and commitment to the law enforcement field. The department said the awardees consistently show their dedication to their communities through community service, outreach and education, going beyond their roles in the policing profession to make the world a better, safer place for their loved ones, the public and future generations.
