The Perpetual Awards were established in 2006 to acknowledge and showcase the efforts and achievements of women in policing.
This year 78 people were put forward across the eight award categories, including three new awards that further recognise the achievements of women and men in advancing the standing of women within the NSW Police Force.
The awards were presented by NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller APM at Bankwest Stadium in Parramatta on Tuesday.
Sergeant Danielle Rebbeck is the Proactive Crime Leader at Lake Illawara and received the Mentor Award.
"Sergeant Rebbeck has always been driven to developing and mentoring junior staff, many of whom have since been promoted or progressed in their careers," a NSW Police spokesperson said.
"Over the last 12 months, Sergeant Rebbeck has utilised her mentoring skills to work with two of female officers who have experienced mental health challenges.
"By sharing her own experience, she helped the officers both professionally and personally, resulting in their successful recovery, high level of performance and regained confidence."
The NSW Police Commissioner praised nominees for their efforts to elevate the standing of women within the NSW Police Force and community.
"These awards are a testament to the outstanding contributions of our employees and it is a privilege to acknowledge the hard work, passion and dedication of those who actively make our organisation a better place to work," Commissioner Fuller said.
