Employee & Volunteer of the Year Awards In 2004, the Woodbury Public Safety and Crime Prevention Board inaugurated a program to recognize the efforts of our public safety employees and volunteers through an annual awards presentation. The recognition occurs at the annual fundraising dinner that is hosted by the Woodbury Public Safety Board. In 2009, the dinner and employee recognition will be held on Tuesday, September 8th. The awards recognize just a small portion of the accomplishments by public safety personnel that make Woodbury a better place to live, work, shop and visit. We value all of our public safety workers and their contribution to the Woodbury Public Safety Department and the City of Woodbury. Any Woodbury Public Safety employee or volunteer may submit a nomination for these awards. The Award Categories Are:
