OACP Traffic Safety Excellence Award
In Ontario’s policing community, certain individuals clearly stand out as life-long leaders in the field of traffic safety. These visionaries display a tireless dedication and a never-ending devotion to their pursuit of ensuring the public’s safety on our roadways. This commitment is shown throughout their policing career and involves the development of strategic partnerships, championing new solutions, and ensuring effective enforcement and educational activities both within the policing profession and externally throughout their communities.
Every year in Ontario, concerned and motivated police officers implement numerous traffic safety initiatives on behalf of their respective agencies designed with the intent of reducing the incidence of death and serious injury attributed to motor vehicle collisions on the province’s highways. Many of these programs prove to be extremely effective, show great creativity and involve innovative solutions. They also prove to our communities the level of commitment that Ontario’s police services have towards traffic safety concerns.
The “OACP Traffic Safety Excellence Award” will be presented to one currently serving individual, police organization, or initiative who have clearly devoted themselves and their policing efforts to furthering traffic safety in Ontario.
This annual award is made possible by the generous support from the CAA South Central Ontario.
