Nova Scotia Police Long Service Awards Presented

Long-serving police officers from across Nova Scotia were recognized for contributions to law enforcement in the province with the Nova Scotia Provincial Police Long Service Award Program.

Justice Minister and Attorney General Ross Landry presented the awards today, Oct. 27, in a ceremony in Halifax to 75 recipients.

"It is important we take the time to recognize and thank these men and women for their hard work and dedication to our justice system," said Mr. Landry. "Through their service, they are creating a province that is safer for all Nova Scotians."

The provincial award program recognizes police officers who have served in the province for 15 and 25 consecutive years. This is the second year for this program.
