Martin Wind - Nomination

This man is there to serve the community. He will help in any way he can and solve any situation. He is kind and will be there for everyone. He deserves this. - Holly Dawson, Durham Region 

K-9 Officer Jeff Dickson - Nomination

I truly believe that these days it is important to try to change the stigma of the police by officers spending time with young children. K9 Officer Jeff Dickson makes time to arrange and visit public schools within his district. I witnessed his interaction with the students when he introduced them to his partner Zeus. I watched children literally roll their eyes when the teacher announced two police officers were visiting the class. By the end of the visit, all the boys in the class and half the girls wanted to be a police officer when they grew up!

Officer Dickson is a single dad of two who loves his job as a parent and as a KPF officer. He is the perfect face of policing as he represents so well. I am truly impressed with this young man and feel that he (and Zeus) needs to be recognized! - Laurie Patterson, Kingston

Patrick Rawn - Nomination 5

I was the Manager for the Ministry of the Attorney General's Victim/Witness Assistance Program in Owen Sound and Walkerton. (Recently retired) I can attest to RAWN's devotion and compassion with all victims of crime that I dealt with coming through the court system. He was patient, understanding and had a calming ability while working with clients with me - regardless of whether they were women or children of domestic abuse or sexual assault, or any other client. He is a credit to OSPS and I wouldn't hesitate to nominate him! - Kathryn Companion, Owen Sound

Steve Bond - Nomination

While this happened a few years ago it still touches my heart to this day and therefore I feel it's even more worthy of a nomination as it's something that's stuck with me this long.

Jesse McInroy - Nomination

Jesse has went above and beyond on many occasions to help my deaf brother and I. He is one of a kind and no matter the situation he does his best to help anyone in need. He does not judge and listens to everything both parties may say. I have him to thank for the help my little brother has got this past year - without his help I may not have a brother anymore. He has saved myself and brother and I have him to thank for how far myself and brother have come. It's impossible to express the gratitude i have for this officer... he saved my brother's life. Thank you officer Jesse McInroy - you are an amazing man and officer. Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my healing heart, thank you. - Amanda Hewitt, Belleville

Sean Briard - Nomination

My nomination is for York Regional Officer, Constable Sean Briard. Sean Briard not only goes above and beyond in his daily duties, he is always the first to volunteer for extra shifts and more importantly, has been known to organize the York Emergency Services Charity Hockey Tournament. This tournament has raised thousands of dollars for various charities within York Region. Sean Briard is compassionate and dedicated to his community and detachment. He has worn many hats through the years - from serving with the Marine Unit to serving with the public order unit, as well as being a uniform patrol officer. Constable Briard is the type of officer that many can look up to and learn from, whether it be his work ethic or morals as an individual.

I thank him & all emergency personnel for their daily service and sacrifice in order to 'serve and protect'. Best of luck to all nominees.- Victoria Psaila, York Region

Zach Mowbray - Nomination

Zach is a young associate officer - he works a full time 40 a week job at Canadian tire. On his day off he volunteers almost every week. If the saugeen shores detachment does a fund raiser he is always there to help fill the van with food or what ever is needed! He puts in over 700 hundred hours a year as a volunteer . He is respected by his fellow officers - Valerie Mowbray, Saugeen Shores

Phil Sheldon - Nomination 6

While responding to a call, Phil Sheldon did not hesitate to try and save people. He suffered massive injuries which required extensive surgeries and physiotherapy with more surgery to follow. Just saying Thank you doesn't seem enough when we think of all that he has been thru and the long road ahead of him. He will always be our hero.

Cst. Steven Rettig - Nomination

This officer goes above and beyond the call of duty and should be recognized for his tremendous work. His kind and gentle demeanour make him a role model for police-citizen interaction. Officer Rettigs charming ability to speak with individuals is met with a warm reception, illustrating the power of treating people with respect instead of threats and intimidation. 

This is the kind of attitude that can bring about reform in civilians views on police. 

Last week, Constable Rettig took time from his busy day to give back to the less fortunate children within the community he serves and cooked them breakfast as their parents were not able to at that time.

Thanks Constable Rettig
