The 2019 Games were my first as President, and the experience was exhilarating; beginning with the launch at the MCG in February 2019, attending events throughout the Games to cheer on our athletes, and presenting event medals to honour our participants in March 2019. The Games are a life changing experience for all those involved, and I look forward to working with the Victoria Police Games Federation Committee again for the 2020 Games, being held from 20-29 March 2020.We all know the benefits of an active lifestyle and the positive impact it can have on our physical and mental health and wellbeing. Finding time for family, friends, sport or exercise is a challenge we all face, but it is particularly important for those working in the emergency management sector. The Victoria Police and Emergency Services Games are about more than competition; they are an opportunity for us to come together, to prioritise our own physical and mental health, and to invest in the friendships that characterise the spirit of the Games. The 2019 Victoria Police and Emergency Services Games were a huge success. The facts speak for themselves: over 3100 participants, 4874 individual entries, 41 sports, and 23 affiliated agencies within the Victoria Police Games Federation. The most popular sports in 2019 continued to be netball, soccer 7s, basketball and angling. The Games were enhanced in 2019 with the addition of indoor rock climbing as a new sport, taking the Games to new heights. I was also pleased to join the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, the Hon Lisa Neville, and the Chief Commissioner of Police, Graham Ashton, at the launch of the 2019 Games on 13 February 2019, to present the 2018 Games winners with the Inter Services Trophy to

Corrections Victoria and the Chief Commissioner’s Trophy – for the 3rd year in a row – to the Transit and Public Safety Command.A lot of work goes into staging the Games and organising the logistics of the sporting events held at 40 venues across the state. They take place because of the commitment and the contribution of our agency representatives, Sports Coordinators and our incredible volunteers. My personal thanks go to all who helped make the 2019 Games successful and enjoyable! I am looking forward with anticipation to the 2020 Games. Already the support has been fantastic. Many of our loyal sponsors show their interest in the Games with these valued partnerships continuing for the 2020 Games. APS Benefits has been a long-time sponsor and these Games mark the 20th consecutive year they have partnered with us. BankVic has provided incredible support for the Games since joining and are more directly involved than ever before. We are also continuing our invaluable relationship with Transurban that provides spectacular outdoor promotions of the Games across Melbourne each year. Our partnership with the web developers, FUSESport continues with their generous support for our online registration portal and development of the Games website. Their contribution is vital and ensures that up to date information is available for all events and activities throughout the nine days of competition. We are extremely grateful for the sustained support of all of our sponsors and thank them for their investment in the 2020 Games. To our participating agency CEOs, senior executives and leaders, thank you for continuing to champion your employees to prioritise their health and wellbeing by taking part in the Games. Finally, the Games are significant because of the diverse range of competitors coming together from our participating agencies. I encourage you all to get involved and be part of the fun at the 2020 Games. Join a friend, form a team, make a commitment to compete yourself, encourage others to participate, or promote volunteering at the 2020 Games. Let’s all start preparing for the next Games now, to make them a resounding success.It might just be you or your team on the podium at the end of the 2020 Games!

Rick NugentDeputy Commissioner, President – Victoria Police Games Federation

With the success of the 2019 Victoria Police & Emergency Services Games behind us, we now eagerly set our sights on the 2020 Games.Victoria’s emergency service agencies embrace the spirit of the Games more enthusiastically every year. We hope that continues in 2020 and I look forward to seeing a high level of participation and healthy competition among colleagues and between agencies. One of the greatest things about the Games is that they are open to all ages and abilities, from people who regularly participate in sport or physical activities, to those who might not have pulled on the athletic gear for some time. There are many sports to participate in, from the very athletic such as netball, basketball and crossfit, through to more sedate, but no less competitive, activities like darts and lawn bowls. There are sports for individual competitors and for teams. The Games have something for everyone, and with venues across the state, there is access for all who wish to take part.

It is well known that physical activity can help us keep ourselves mentally well. We also know the wellbeing benefits of connecting with and sharing experiences with others. We all have busy lives and for many of us it is difficult to find time for these activities. The Games provide a wonderful opportunity for participants to set goals around fitness or participation, and to make time to work toward them.Emergency service employees enter in the Games for various reasons. Individual competitors may be aiming for a personal best performance, or a team may be looking to win bragging rights over another for a year. Others may simply want to experience a new sport or spend time outside of the workplace with colleagues and peers. Whatever the motivation, the Games are a fun and memorable experience for everyone who participates.I acknowledge and thank the Sports Federation, sports coordinators and volunteers for their efforts in organising the 2020 Games. The Games would not be possible without the considerable work that they do. I look forward to seeing participants in action when I visit the venues and events throughout the Games. I encourage everyone to promote the Games, register for an event or two, get a team together, and enjoy what will be a wonderful nine days of sporting competition and fun.

Blood and Infectious Disease Policy: All cuts and abrasions must be reported to the Sport Co-ordinator immediately and first aid treatment applied. A competitor who is bleeding or has blood on their clothing must immediately leave the playing area and seek medical assistance. The bleeding must be stopped, the wound dressed and blood on the player’s body or clothing cleaned off before they return to the game. Play must cease until all visible blood is cleaned up. Sport Co-ordinators have discretion as to whether any contaminated clothing or equipment will need to be replaced prior to the competitor being allowed to continue in the competition. A competitor may only return to competition once the Sports Coordinator is confident all the steps listed above have been taken. Any person with an infectious disease must advise the Sport Co-


ordinator prior to the start of any competition. The Sport Co-ordinator shall advise the competitor whether they are able to take their place in the competition.

Officials, Co-ordinators & Volunteers will be identified by distinctive clothing/badges, and they should always be treated with the utmost courtesy.

Photographer: An official Games photographer will attend various sporting events. Photographs & videos will be available for viewing on the Games website in the Image Gallery. There may also be other photographers at events which have been organised by the Sports Coordinator and approved by the Games Office.

Security: All Sports Co-ordinators are responsible for securing their venues and equipment against damage. Competitors are responsible for their own property. Each sport also has its own ‘Security Strategy’ devised by the Sports Coordinator and submitted to the Games Office prior to their event/s commencing. The VPGF also asks every participant to be aware about the need for increased vigilance when conduct sporting events in today’s environment. Competitors are asked to have their agency identification with them at the events they are competing at. Should the relevant identification not be shown when asked by the Sports Coordinator, then the individual may be asked to leave the premises and not take part in the Games.

Risk Management: The Games Federation has a commitment to use risk management practices to support and enhance all the sporting events in the Games. A ‘Facility Safety & Game Day Readiness Checklist’ is completed by each Sports Co-ordinator to ensure that sports event venues are ‘fit for purpose’, and action plans are designed to reduce the likelihood and consequence of injury. Further to this Sports Co-ordinators now include a ‘Security Strategy’ as part of their action plans as mentioned above.

Results of all events and sports will be posted on the Games website under the “Results” section as soon as they have been received by the Games Office from the Sports Coordinators. Coordinators are asked to finalise their results and send them through as soon as possible.

Medal Presentations will be made at the conclusion of the final of each event or at the discretion of the Sports Coordinator. Placegetters who do not attend medal presentation ceremonies MUST arrange delivery of their medals through the Sport Co-ordinator. The presentation for the Chief Commissioner’s Trophy and the Inter-Services Trophy will be made at the discretion of the VPGF Executive. The winners will be acknowledged at the launch of the Games for the following year.

Victoria Police Games Federation Chief Commissioner’s Trophy & the Inter-Services Trophy

As there can be a large difference in the number of personnel attached to each Agency and Police Department, the weighting factor ensures that all Agencies/Departments compete on an equal basis. This weighting factor better reflects the participation rates of staff within the Agencies/Departments, making the process fairer overall. This process incorporates a participation percentage, bonus points for competitors who enter more than one event, and medal points for placings. The trophies will be awarded to the Agency/Department gaining the highest number of points (combination of total participation and medal points). Every member of a competing agency taking part in the Games will earn participation points for his or her agency/department and medal points for placings. Victoria Police entrants to the Games MUST nominate the region, department or command to which their points are to be awarded upon registration.

Retired Police Veterans are not eligible to compete for The Chief Commissioner’s Trophy whilst Retired emergency services personnel and volunteers are eligible to compete for the Inter-Services trophy if they meet the respective criteria.

Scratching’s will automatically penalize the Agency the equivalent participation points.

Withdrawals due to illness or injury will not attract a penalty.

Calculating Bonus Points and Total Participation Percentage. The bonus points for each agency are based on the average number of entries per competitor per agency.

For example: Agency/Department A has 100 staff members, 50 competitors and 75 entries. The percentage of employees competing is 50%, and the average number of entries per competitor 1.50. The average number of entries per competitor is applied as a weighting to the participation percentage to give a total participation percentage of 75%. The total participation percentage is then ranked from highest to lowest, and agencies assigned a rank score.

Bonus Points. Medal points will be awarded to place getters as follows: 1st (5 points), 2nd (3 points) and 3rd (1 point). Each agency’s total number of medal points is added up and ranked from highest to lowest and agencies assigned a rank score. More information on the allocation of points can be found in clause 11 of the Conditions of Entry.

Overall ranking. The rank scores from the total participation percentage and the medal points are then added together, and the Agency/Department with the highest score wins.

11.3 In all non-individual events/team events, Bonus Points will be allocated this way:

a) Only 1 set of bonus points will be allocated to an agency per non-individual/team event to the 1st, 2nd & 3rd placegetters (eg. winning team will get 5 points only to their agency and will not be individually allocated to the participants).

Where there is more than 1 participant from a different agency involved in the makeup of the entry, the bonus points will be awarded to the participant and their agency who setup the online entry (eg, team manager or captain).

b) Where a person wishes to compete in a non-individual/team event with members from another region or department within Victoria Police, they will each be granted Bonus Points towards their department should they place 1st, 2nd or 3rd, with these points contributing to the Chief Commissioner’s Trophy.

THE VICTORIA POLICE SPORTS AWARDS

In 1995 the Victoria Police Amateur Sports and Welfare Society Inc. introduced the Victoria Police Sports Awards and commenced the Victoria Police Sporting Hall of Fame.The Victoria Police Sports and Welfare Awards recognise the achievements of the Outstanding Victoria Police Club, Outstanding Police Administrator and Most Outstanding Individual Performance of the year. In 1999 the Victoria Police Amateur Boxing and Wrestling Club dissolved and initiated an ‘Athlete Scholarship’ which is now part of the annual sports awards presentations. The ‘Most Improved Police Team of the Year’ award was introduced in 2013 and recognises the team who has shown sustained improvement in performance. In 2009 the Society decided to amend the awards criteria to become more inclusive of clubs who are more welfare oriented, and in 2016 created the ‘Most Outstanding Police Recreation, Welfare, Social or Other

Achievement of the Year award. This award was later renamed the ‘Most Outstanding Police Recreation, Social or Other Achievement of the Year’ award as it was deemed that the welfare aspect was well catered for in the criteria of the other awards. Another review of the award categories took place in 2019 with slight changes occurring to the Welfare & Sporting Achievement Awards.The Victoria Police Sports and Welfare Awards honour boards and the Victoria Police Sporting Hall of Fame Wall are situated on the Concourse Level at the Victoria Police Centre.A full history of award winners can be found at www.vpasws.org.auThe Victoria Police Sporting Hall of Fame recognises the achievements of Victoria Police members in all fields of sport and of those who have made a significant contribution to Policing and Sport.
