I was at Sobeys one morning before work and Officer Finn was in the line in front of me on her way to work in her uniform, and I noticed she had school snacks. I was there for school snacks as well, so in trying to show my daughter that police are friendly and you can have a conversation with them just like regular people, I asked 'oh you had to do the quick run out before school as well for your kids?' She said 'oh no, these aren't for my kids - I bring them to the school in case any kids forgot theirs.' 

Keira is amazing - she is a role model for my kids! We saw her at the Police Booth during a recent festival and my boys just loved her energy! My 7 year old wants to be a police officer now! She is an inspiration!

Paul has been my kid brother for all 52 years of his life. I had the opportunity to ride with him many years ago. I never realized the dark side of life he sees on a daily basis. Despite that, he still treats everyone with the greatest respect and chooses to volunteer his time for the less fortunate. He has my deepest respect.

A hero is unique to the individual who benefited from a person's kindness, generosity, integrity, professionalism, quick action, patience or gentle spirit in a time of crisis or need. While I can't speak for all, Ian Maxwell is my definition of a hero, in every sense of the word and meaning.

A true community hero, Amy always responds to any group, organization or person who needs help - she is the epitome of a community police officer, ethical, trusted and trustworthy.

Keira does a lot to help out her local community. She cares deeply about those around her. In 2017, she participated in the Barrie Dancing with Easter Seals Stars. Barrie is lucky to have someone like Keira. Even if she isn't crowned the Police Services Hero, she is still a hero to me.

I can think of no better candidate to nominate than Michael Cox for this prestigious award. His eternal benevolence and philanthropy have been proven time and time again. Putting everyone before himself, he is a staple in the community of Harrow.

I believe Mike is well deserving of this award. He was a role model to me my whole entire life. Everyone looks up to him for his character, kindness and care for his community. Photo credit: Dax Melmer / Windsor Star
