Back to SearchDuring Police Week, the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) encourages all police services to highlight their service, people, and many accomplishments. Starting in 1970, Police Week coincides with Peace Officers Memorial Day, which is recognized internationally on May 15. We want to celebrate community partnerships. All of us – police, communities, government, businesses, and ordinary citizens – must work together when it comes to public safety, crime prevention, and community engagement.
This year’s provincial theme is “Join Policing: Keep Ontario Safe,” and will be held from May 12 to 18, 2024. Police Week provides an opportunity to use social media, or other online platforms, to showcase the great work of police services across Ontario. This year's theme emphasizes the important role police members play in community safety, and how members of the community can take an active role in keeping Ontario safe by joining this rewarding profession.
The annual Police Week in Ontario is sponsored by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) and the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General. It is part of the National Police Week led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.
The OACP is encouraging all police services in Ontario to utilize all resources available in support of Police Week.
Please make sure to use the hashtag #PoliceWeekON.
