Nominations are being accepted for the 44th Annual Conrad Ball Award to recognize an individual or team for their significant improvements to criminal justice in Larimer County.

The award is named after the late honorable 8th Judicial District Judge Conrad L. Ball, who made significant advancements in the criminal justice system. In his honor, each year nominations are accepted to recognize an individual for their significant contributions to the criminal justice system.

The award can also be received by a team selected by colleagues, coworkers, co-recipients, or a resident in Larimer County. Visit larimer.org/cjs/comcor/conrad-ball-award to see past recipients and learn more about the award.
