From Town Hall:
In a recent announcement, the Justice Assistance Program announced its honored award recipients for 2022. On that list of recipients of the 2022 Neil J.

The award was first presented in 1981, and named in perpetuity in 1988 and has become recognized as the most prestigious award presented within Rhode Island’s criminal justice system.
The honor this year will be shared with John Alford Captain, R.I.
