I lost my daughter a few years ago and was going through a very hard time - I had a mental breakdown. The police were called and two officers showed up to my home. Constable Hatfield took the time to speak with me and when he heard where I was coming from, he realized I wasn't a threat - I was just grieving mother who needed help. 

I would like to nominate Officer Robbilyn Parker. A couple years ago, my daughter at age 15 was the victim of a sexual assault. Understandably our lives were torn apart. Officer Parker accompanied my daughter to the Peterborough hospital for the sexual assault kit and made her feel as comfortable as she could.

I have known Amy since 1998, when our Police Services amalgamated. Amy has this special ability to connect with everyone she comes in contact with... her smile is like sunshine. She also has the ability to really listen to what you're saying and cares about what's going on in your life. 

This is the most well deserved nomination! From the bottom of my heart, our family absolutely LOVES this woman! We met Officer Brooks several years ago when our daughters fell victim to an attempted luring situation by a strange man. It was the worst day of our lives, but it was the day we met our hero.

I am so happy to nominate Jeff McGregor for the Police Service Hero award. I met Jeff in August 2015 after being terribly victimized in some tragic events. Jeff has investigated this case for the past 2 1/2 years so I could get the justice and closure I deserve. Jeff is truly dedicated to his job of protecting people and I am honoured to have had his help the past few years.

For as long as I can remember Kevin always wanted to be a K9 officer. It's great seeing him and Jake train together, and reading the stories of them catching criminals and finding people - you know they both work hard at staying in top shape.

I was sexually assaulted as a child. I went through a lot and never told anyone about it. When I finally gained the courage, I definitely did not want a man to have presidency over my case. The woman who I was originally assigned to was transferred, and I wound up with Det. Cst. Jeremy Ashley. 

In February 2017, PC Sanders was dispatched to a trouble call in Oshawa. Information was received that the upstairs of the residence was on fire and that a male had fallen from the second story window and was also on fire. PC Sanders was the first officer to arrive at this chaotic scene. 

Mike gives everything for his work, community and family. We have known him for many years and he has always been selfless in giving to others whenever he can. Mike is very involved in as many people's lives as he can be, and tries to assist them in any way he can. Photo credit: Dax Melmer / Windsor Star
