WIFLE formally solicits Agencies by letter once a year to nominate individuals who have demonstrated achievements outstanding enough to compete for the various annual WIFLE Awards. WIFLE is the only organization to offer these awards to recognize exceptional courage, outstanding accomplishments, and significant contributions that have advanced the recruitment, retention, and promotion of women in federal law enforcement. Additionally, WIFLE honors a federal prosecutor for exceptional work resulting in the conviction of individual(s) for trafficked women or children for sexual exploitation; committed or attempted to commit a crime of violence against women/or any minority group; committed a civil rights violation; and other heinous criminal offenses.

An awards application form and filing instructions for the Agencies are additionally posted to the website annually; coincide with the WIFLE Annual Leadership Training; and, can be found on the Annual Leadership Training Program websites.
