A true inspiration, a beacon of the community. Cealia does a wonderful job as a constable and more importantly is a true inspiration to the youth in her city. Jason Coppola, Windsor

Keith is my hero, not only does he protect and service his community, he has a heart of gold. This man would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He not only thinks of others first he thinks of animals as well. He risked his own life to save the life of a drowning dog. With out even a second thought he jumped into freezing cold water waist deep went out 20 meters and saved a life. In my books that's pretty darn brave. This man deserves recognition for his bravery. - Julie Miller

I am nominating Phil because even though he was in iminent danger (fire/explosion) he continued to attempt to rescue the female victim in the house. As a result he suffered severe burns and it has changed his life forever. Phil loves being a Police Officer and wants nothing more than to get back to work. Phil does not consider himself a hero; he feels he was just doing his job. Even more proof that he is deserving of this award! Jennifer Lindley - Niagara Region

I nominate Cameel Chambers because she is the most motivational and inspirational police officer I have ever met. Her funny personality is very enjoyable and is always open to talk to you! That is why I would like to nominate Cameel Chambers for this years Police Hero because she made a huge impact in my life that I will never forget if it weren't for Cameel! - Reyden Bunag, Peel Region

Community Policing is not as glamourous or flashy as the speed chases, or running into burning buildings we see on TV. In fact, it is probably in the same realm of chosen opportunities as traffic direction! However, Constable Peter Jeon, over the year of 2010-11, provided exceptional community service to my family in dealing with a neighbourhood dispute. In the end, the entire matter resolved itself in the court system in 2015; but it was Constable Jeon's cool management that prevented further, even potentially deadly, consequences from unfolding. He was able to diffuse and mitigate the situation such that the outcome was controlled and orderly. For this cool, collected reasoning, I offer a nomination to Peter Jeon for my police hero of the year.
Thank you,

While off duty at Cameron Speed in Hamilton with his family, Cst Aragian observed a young girl fall from a rock climbing wall and hit her head on the concrete. Without hesitation Cst Aragian climbed over the fence and ran to help her. She went into convulsions and was having difficulty breathing. 

October 15 2015, a 71 year old woman mistakenly drive her car off the home street boat launch and in to the St. Lawrence River. The car began to fill up with water. Sergeant Harvie waded into the cold water to the submerged vehicle. He used his baton to shatter the back window and pulled the woman from the sinking car to the shore.

Always humble, Sergeant Harvie is an excellent leader to his shift and great co-worker. The former use of force instructor is a dedicated and hard working individual for which our service and community are proud to have. Dave Jeggo, Brockville

For constantly going beyond and above his normal duties to find out the truth before the assumption is assumed.
His love for the community is daily reflected in his stellar police work. It is an honour to have him serve our community. - Adam Champ, Hamilton

Kari Drake is strong confidently officer who when needed offers moral support to others. She never runs from conflict rather she heads right to the center of it, to see how she can help. She is one of the finest officers I have had the pleasure to meet.
Always professional
Always companionate
Always supportive
Straight forward how it is.
Always working even when not! - Cathy Swayze, Brantford

Jason began volunteering as a Scouter with 1st Napanee Valley Scouting Group two years ago when hearing the youth were at risk of losing the opportunities they'd come to enjoy in their Cub Pack due to volunteer shortage. Jason, who already had an overflowing 'plate', threw himself into the role bringing a love of Scouting to the Pack by sharing among many other things his outdoor survival skills and introducing the pack to their new favourite adventure...Geocaching. Jason comes to the Pack with a strong sense of Community stewardship which he regularly role models for our Youth, enabling them to become contributing members of our community along the Canadian Path. Jason has made a lasting and positive impression on our children and deserves this award for all he gives as a Scouter, an active member of the police officer Union, a dedicated husband & father, and most especially for choosing this line of work. We are blessed to count him a Scouter. - Andrea Miller, Belleville
