The Chatham-Kent Police Service is inviting the community to join in celebrating Police Week May 15 – 21.
Since 1970, Police Week has been observed in May to coincide with Peace Officers Memorial Day, recognized internationally on May 15. This year’s theme, Discover Policing for Safer Communities, provides an opportunity for communities to discover the many ways police are working to keep their community safe.
This year, the Chatham-Kent Police Service, in collaboration with an Ursuline College Chatham (UCC) media class, produced a video taking an inside look at policing in our municipality. Numerous officers and members of the Police Service discuss their role and how they work hard on a daily basis to keep the residents of Chatham-Kent safe.
“Police Week gives us the opportunity to promote the hard work and commitment that our officers and members have for public safety. Every day, we have ‘boots on the ground’ dedicated to keeping the citizens of Chatham-Kent safe,” said Deputy Chief Jeff Littlewood. “This year, we invite everyone to watch our video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58LVshj3tKg to see first-hand the amazing work of our members and how their role helps to keep our community safe.”
