REGINA — May 12 to 18 is National Police Week.
This year's theme, Committed to Serve Together, highlights the importance of partnerships between policing services and the organizations and people in the communities they serve.
National Police Week began in 1970 as another way for police to connect with the communities they serve to raise awareness about the services they provide, and to create opportunities for dialogue, understanding and mutual respect in the spirit of building safer communities.
"On behalf of the SACP, I'd like to recognize the dedication and sacrifice of the almost 3,000 police officers serving in communities across our province who put their lives on the line 24/7, 365 days a year," Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police President Richard Lowen said. "As worldwide events influence conflicts across the country, I want to take the time to say to our officers that their work is appreciated and valued. Our police officers are committed to serve for a better future for all."
