Hal Lipset "Truth in Action" Award This award originated in 1967 when it was introduced by the Officers
and Board of W.A.D. as The 'Truth in Action' award. It is presented to an
individual for service to mankind by outstanding acts of compassion or
heroism or leadership or achievement and service outside of W.A.D. in the
fields of private investigation, private security, criminal justice, jurisprudence,
or technical and scientific expertise. In 1998 the name of the award was changed
to the 'Hal Lipset Memorial Truth in Action Award' in honor of Past President
Hal Lipset. The recipient is normally chosen by the local host, or in their absence
by the Conference and Mid-Term Committee with approval by the Awards Committee. 2011 Hal Lipset "Truth in Action" Award Recipient
