Mr. Landry presented Nova Scotia Provincial Police Long Service Awards at a ceremony in Halifax to 43 recipients and recognized another person for many years of work in crime prevention.

"This is a tremendous accomplishment and I extend my sincere thanks to all of the recipients for the loyal and distinguished service they have provided to this province," said Mr. Landry.
