News release

Crime Stoppers recognizes that often the men and women of our police services go above and beyond to make P.E.I. a better and safer province, both on and off duty. Our success is based on the partnership between law enforcement, the media and the citizens of Prince Edward Island. There is no doubt that all law enforcement officers work diligently to ensure the safety and well being of our communities. There is also no doubt that many go above and beyond job requirements to engage and better their communities. The "Police Officers of the Year" Awards is an event designed to recognize that extra effort. Awards will be presented in two categories; one to a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and one to a member of a Municipal Police Service.
