GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  The purpose of this MARADMIN is to solicit nominees for the 2017 Jim Kallstrom Awards and Marine Corps Security and Emergency Services (S/ES) Civilian Awards.  The awards will be presented at the annual U.S. Marine Corps Senior Leaders Security Seminar, anticipated to be held during CY2018Q3.
2.  The Jim Kallstrom Award.  The Kallstrom Awards, one for outstanding leadership and one for bravery, are presented annually in honor of Jim Kallstrom.  A Marine Corps Captain and Vietnam War veteran, Jim Kallstrom distinguished himself over a twenty-eight year career with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, culminating in his assignment as the Assistant Director in Charge, New York Division.  He continues his faithful service to the Marine Corps and Law Enforcement Community as the co-founder and Chairman of the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation (MC-LEF).  Administered by the MC-LEF, the Jim Kallstrom Awards recognize those Military Police, who in the performance of their duties, best exemplify the ethos of protect and serve, honor, courage and commitment, and a genuine concern for the well-being of the Corps, fellow Marines and the community they serve.
2.a.  Eligibility.  Law Enforcement Battalions, Provost Marshal Offices, Marine Corps Police Departments, and other commands staffed with Military Police personnel are encouraged to submit one nominee for each award category.  Commanders (O6 level) will use the following prerequisites to submit nominations:

2.a.2.  Nominees must be active duty or reserve serving on active orders and possess a military police MOS (58XX) during the period of eligibility.  Nominations may be submitted posthumously, provided the nominee would meet eligibility and award criteria described above.
