Police Week

May 11-17, 2008

Canadian Police Week is dedicated to increasing community awareness and recognition of policing services while strengthening police-community ties. Police Week also encourages community involvement and initiation of activities through media awareness and community sponsored events.

Objectives

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.
