Brandon met with my son on various occasions, just the two of them. I have no idea what they discussed or did together. All I do know, is that my son did a complete 360 in his life and went from a devastating downward spiral to a young man that I am very proud to call my son. Dionne Peterson, Durham Region

To: Constable Chapman (badge: 2540) 12 Division.

In short, at approximately 1530 on November 14th 2015, Constable Chapman responded to one of our shop theft calls at the 1500 Dundas St East Walmart, upon arriving the individual who was presently apprehended began to become aggressive against himself and proceeded to cut his own wrists. Constable Chapman selflessly disengaged the situation and the individual who was cutting himself, but primarily making sure that the individual under arrest wouldn't inflict any more harm to himself but he also made sure that this individual wasn't going to hurt or attack Loss Prevention. - Tyler Brown, Peel Region

Helped my son who was suffering some mental health issues a few times... Went above and beyond took him too the hospital and stayed with him till the hospital security took over! Great officer and very compassionate! - Linda Terry, Durham

I've only known Lilly for the last few years through social media. I've had the pleasure of meeting her a few times and shes offered to take pictures with me and my kids, as well as shown us around the media offices of peel police. Recently retired, this would be a great way to finish off her employment with the service. - Dan MacNeil, Peel Region

This officer keeps the public up-to-date and informed on the latest events and crimes that have occurred. She is thorough and clever in her tweets and doesn't miss a beat. I think this officer should be commended for her efforts, time and dedication put in. I am a reporter for Country 105 and I am unfortunately leaving the station soon but seeing her updates and even those of the Peel Police Media department help make my days go by easier. I'm always glad to know she's on shift. - Amanda Santos

I've never met Christina Schulz but in my eyes she deserves to be recognized as a hero. Early October 2nd of 2013 she noticed a driver proceeding down Laurier Avenue in Ottawa in a dangerous manner. She attempted to stop the driver but before she could do that he ran a red light and crashed into another vehicle at a high speed. The man in that other vehicle was my dad. Officer Schulz immediately got out of her car and stayed by my dad's side comforting him for the final last moments of his life. For her attempts at curbing impaired drivers and for her compassion for victims and their families, Christine Schulz deserves to be recognized with this hero award. - Crystal Hampton, Ottawa

This officer met an elderly woman after being called to her residence in January 2016. After listening to her concerns and worries he soon realized this lovely lady had allowed her fears to keep her indoors. Never leaving to shop even for the basics. PC McMillan volunteered to take her out and help her get the foods she needed. It broke his heart to see someone so overtaken with fear that eating wasnt her priority. PC McMillan showed her compassion by taking her out. - Angie McMillan, Durham Region

I nominate Adrian Woolley as a police hero for always being an enthusiastic officer when helping out with cram-a-cruiser events. - Jasleen Kular, Peel Region

I would like to nominate Officer Greaves who I feel goes beyond the call of duty when he is out educating the many youth in our community about staying safe. I have 6 grand kids spread out in 3 different schools in Thunder Bay who have had the opportunity to meet Officer Greaves at their school and have shared what he taught them. This tells me he is not only giving them information but leaving an ever lasting impression on the youth. - Kelly Hilton, Thunder Bay

I have found Wes to go above and beyond in so many ways. Wes is the senior training officer at SSPS, making sure all officers have up-to-date training and make sure they practice, practice, practice! On top of training, Wes is an ERU officer who is on call 24/7 to help his fellow officers and his community. If that's not enough, he even does routine patrols and traffic duty!! - Mike Morr, South Simcoe
