We would like to thank the members of the EENA's Advisory Board and of the 112 Emergency Services Staff Network for their help in selecting the Awardees of this 112 Awards Ceremony 2012. The selection is now completed and the winners have been identified. They were announced during a Gala dinner that was held on 18 April 2012 in Riga during the EU Emergency Services Workshop 2012.
112 Awards were delivered to individuals and organisations in the following categories:
