(Ottawa) —Since 1970, Police Week has been observed in May to coincide with Peace Officers Memorial Day, recognized internationally on May 15. The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services has designated May 13 to 19, 2018 as Police Week in Ontario and this year’s theme is “Celebrating Policing and Community Partnerships”.
“We cannot do the work we do as a police service without the support of the communities we serve,” said Chief Charles Bordeleau. “By investing in those relationships, we can enhance the safety of all residents city-wide.”
This year, our Community Development Section, our Community Police Centre officers, and their volunteers are inviting the community to join us at the four fun filled events throughout the city. We continue to believe that our community is our inspiration.
