Thank you to all police officers and personnel who made the 2024 Police Week a tremendous success across our province this week! This year, Police Week took place from May 12 to 18, 2024. The theme, Join Policing: Keep Ontario Safe, inspired police services to focus on inviting members of the community to consider policing as a career. It provided services with an opportunity to communicate important narratives about how they seek individuals with a passion for building strong and vibrant communities by joining law enforcement teams.
Police Week was first observed in 1970, and coincides with Peace Officers Memorial Day, which is recognized internationally on May 15. Police Week is a great way to demonstrate to Ontarians the value of the work police officers and personnel do each day and encourage individuals to consider a career in policing. Thank you to all Police Services who participated in Police Week! It was great to see the amazing work and initiatives that were highlighted.
