On March 28th NCISS held annual elections of Officers and Directors. Dean’s term as President came to a close and he was elected by the Board to be Board Chairman for the next year. His term was busy and productive, thanks to the teamwork and individual commitment of each officer and director in their duties. Success was achieved everyone, Together We’re Better! It has been an honor and privilege for Dean to serve the members of NCISS, and also the investigative and security professions.
Dean also returned to Colorado having been honored with NCISS’s highest honor, the Duffy Award (www.nciss.org/awards). The recipient is chosen by a committee of the six most recent recipients.

This was a great honor for Dean, and quite a surprise. As a recipient, he credits the teamwork and accomplishments of the Executive Council, Board and support of members. Last year (2016) Dean was honored to be the recipient of the second most coveted award, The Wunder Award. Like the Duffy Award, the recipient of this award is also determined by a committee of the six most recent recipients. In 2012, as a Regional Director, Dean was the first recipient of the Vinson Award.
After receiving the award, it was realized that Dean is also the only member to receive all three awards (Past President Vince Ruffolo had received the Duffy Award and Wunder Award, and posthumously the 2nd Vinson Award in 2013).
In presenting the award, past recipient Maria Landry gave the following description:
This year's recipient epitomizes those traits [description below]. He is an unabashed, natural leader who has leaped into the breach to the lead the Council and has at the same time has assumed many tasks necessary for the communication to our members. He is a tireless worker for NCISS and also a past Board Chairman of PPIAC (CO) and also Governor of the Americas for the World Association of Detectives. Something that has been noted about this person is he has the greatest respect for our military and veterans. If he encounters someone in uniform or a veterans, he always thanks them for their service. It is my honor to present this year's Duffy Award to Dean Beers of Colorado.
