The 200 Club Valor Award

Created by recommendation of the Board of Directors and approved by the Members in March of 2006, the 200 Club Valor Award may be given yearly to a Law Enforcement Officer and a Firefighter from the 200 Club's 20 County operating region.

The recipients are chosen by the awards committee which is comprised of Law Enforcement and Fire command Officers, not by the 200 Club of the Coastal Empire.

Therefore, because of the stringent standards imposed by those peers, there might be times when the Valor Award will not be given. The award consists of a "Book Plaque", a metal with campaign bar and a separate gift.

It is worthy of note that ours is the only Civilian Metal and Campaign Bar authorized by the departments within the Club's jurisdiction to be worn on the recipient's uniform.

Shortly after the chase, the suspect arrived at Memorial Hospital in a private vehicle with a gunshot wound to the chest. A weapon, along with illegal drugs, was also recovered at the scene."
