Campbell Police Department Receives International Award for Leadership in Public/Private Cooperation

Campbell, CA — The Campbell Police Department has been recognized on an international stage with the 2025 IACP Security Industry Association Leadership in Public/Private Cooperation Award at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Awards Banquet.

This prestigious award honors one law enforcement agency each year from nominations submitted around the world. This is an extraordinary accomplishment for both the Campbell Police Department and the City of Campbell.

This award is a testament to years of collaboration, innovation, and commitment to public safety. It reflects the efforts of the entire department, from those implementing and managing new technologies to the officers and staff who use them every day to support the Campbell community.

“Our partnerships with companies like Axon, Dedrone, MatrixSpace, DroneSense, Bosch, and SiFly have helped push the boundaries of what’s possible in modern policing,” said Police Chief Gary Berg. “But the real story isn’t about technology, it’s about how these tools empower our officers to do a difficult job a little easier, a little safer, and a little smarter.”

This recognition also highlights Campbell’s broader culture of innovation, trust, and collaboration. With the support of City Council and the community, the department has continued to invest in forward-thinking initiatives that reimagine what public safety can look like in a small city with big ideas.

“Being recognized internationally among agencies of every size and resource level reaffirms that leadership isn’t about scale, it’s about vision, purpose, and a shared commitment to doing what’s right,” Chief Berg added.

The Campbell Police Department thanks the Campbell community for its continued support and partnership. This recognition reflects our shared commitment to progress, collaboration, and service.
