The award is named after DR. Jon Birrell who was Victoria's police surgeon from 1957 to 1977 and his initiatives saved

Among his most significant moves was to introduce breathalysers, random breath testing, the .05 legislation, the abolition of

 the "6 o'clock swill", motorcyclists' helmets and the compulsory wearing of seatbelts.
