Police Week, celebrated from May 9-15 is dedicated to increasing community awareness and recognition of policing services while strengthening police and local community ties.
Police Week also encourages community involvement and initiation of activities through media awareness and community sponsored events.
Police Week is governed by four specific objectives:
To act as a vehicle in which to reinforce ties with the community;
To honour police officers for the public safety and security they provide to their communities;
To promote the work police do in their communities;
To inform the community about the police role in public safety and security.
