Each year, the Chisholm Trail 100 Club seeks nominations for exemplary service from our service area's* First Responder agencies.  Nominations may be submitted by peers, supervisors and/or community members.  Awards include:

• “Lifetime Achievement Award”
• “Clifton Taylor Chisholm Trail 100 Award”
• “Lifesaver Award”

Nominations may be made for exceptional achievement in any police, firefighting, dispatching, or emergency medical endeavor including, but not limited to, extraordinary valor, crime prevention, investigative activity, community relations, juvenile programs, drug prevention and control programs, training programs, traffic safety and innovative approaches, to police or firefighting services and distinguished 20+ year service.  Also, there is a specific recognition for a group of individuals who perform technique(s) on a full arrest patient/victim who was successfully resuscitated and returned home alive.  All First Responders covered by the Chisholm Trail 100 Club* are eligible to be nominated for these awards. Submitted nominations are then reviewed by the Chisholm Trail 100 Club's Awards Committee.
