On December 8, 2018, Ashley McArthur and a couple of other officers took the time to interact with me and my friends plus take a photo with us as well. This was during the Christmas Tree lighting event hosted by Mayor Cam Guthrie. Furthermore, Cst. McArthur has taken time out of her busy schedule to go out for ice cream with Marletta Pagliaroli. Marla has special needs and loves company so she went out of her way on numerous occasions to go out for ice cream with her. She deserves this award.

I don't know Constable Taraso personally, nor have I ever met him. I see his efforts on Twitter through Halton Regional Police channel. I see him in my community on a regular basis. I see him as a great ambassador for Halton and a genuinely caring individual who puts an effort above and beyond what he is expected to do. I would like to nominate Constable Marc Taraso as my uniformed hero. Thank you for all you do!
