(Ottawa) – Monday evening, Chief Charles Bordeleau and the Ottawa Police Services Board Chair Eli El-Chantiry will host the annual Ottawa Police Service Awards Ceremony. This Ceremony recognizes the service of members of the Ottawa Police with the presentation of different awards.
There are 125 recipients who will receive one of the awards listed below:
The Police Exemplary Service Medal is presented on behalf of the Governor General of Canada to all sworn members of the Police Service who have completed twenty years of exemplary service with a Canadian Police Service. Police officers who have completed an additional ten years of exemplary service are entitled to receive a bar, which is worn with the medal.
A gift will be presented to civilian employees who have completed 20 and 30 years of full time service. Sworn and civilian members who reach 25 years of service are presented a timepiece of their choice.
The Commemorative Coin was created in 2009 on the occasion of the International Police Peace Operation Program’s 20th Anniversary to recognize the contributions of all Canadian police officers who have served on such missions since 1989. We are honouring one member with the Coin.
Members of the media are invited to attend.
