Renault Robinson
Award
This award is
presented to an NBPA
member
(requirement). In a
meager attempt to
honor Brother
Robinson the Board
of Directors decided
to create an annual
award to be
presented to one (1)
of our members, who
during the year
served the Black
Community as Brother
Robinson has over
the years. He fought
injustices as he saw
them, many time by
himself and always
consistent in his
efforts. Over
seemingly
insurmountable
obstacles he
overcame adversity
in a successful
struggle against the
Chicago Police
Department that
benefited all Black
Officers within the
city. As a result,
Brother Robinson
became a symbol of
Black Officers'
struggle nationwide,
therefore, it is
important to
recognize such an
important
contribution by a
brother/sister for
his/her dedicated
service to the NBPA,
for his courageous
efforts to provide
equal rights and
justice to all
citizens and for
being outspoken on
equal employment
opportunities for
Black Police
Officers nationwide.
