The Mackay region is attracting attention as the Neighbourhood Watch Australiasia's top accolades have been handcuffed to two exceptional locals, highlighting their exemplary service and tireless efforts to keep the community safe. The award-winning duo, Sergeant Nigel Dalton and Gerri Kissner, have certainly proved that they have a rap sheet of success when it comes to promoting social inclusion, community engagement, and empowering people.
Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP congratulated Queensland Police Sergeant Nigel Dalton, from Mackay, who was awarded the NHWA 2022 Police Commissioner’s Award, and Gerri Kissner, of the Mackay Northern Beaches NHW group, who was awarded the NHWA 2022 Malcolm Grant OAM Volunteer of the Year Award.
“For both recipients to be from our region is an incredible achievement and speaks of the impact they make with their work, and we thank them,” Ms Camm said.
“I understand this is the first time in the history of the NHWA awards that both winners have been selected from the same region, in the same state, and to me that says that our police and community are working together in a way that is gaining national attention.
“How fortunate are we to have such committed people who are actively making our community safer for everyone.
“A huge thank-you to Nigel and Gerri for their hard work and devotion to our region.”
These awards recognise individuals who have actively demonstrated empowering people and communities through the development of effective partnerships that promote safer communities, engagement, and social inclusion.
