Back to SearchDuring Police Week, the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) encourages all police services to highlight their service, people, and many accomplishments. Starting in 1970, Police Week coincides with Peace Officers Memorial Day, which is recognized internationally on May 15. We want to celebrate community partnerships. All of us – police, communities, government, businesses, and ordinary citizens – must work together when it comes to public safety, crime prevention, and community engagement.
This year’s provincial theme, “Protecting Ontario,” highlights the vital role that police professionals play in keeping our communities safe and the importance of community involvement in building strong, healthy neighbourhoods.
The annual Police Week in Ontario is sponsored by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) and the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General. It is part of the National Police Week led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.
The OACP is encouraging all police services in Ontario to utilize all resources available in support of Police Week.
Please make sure to use the hashtag #PoliceWeekON.
A toolkit has been developed to help support this public awareness campaign. The 2025 Police Week promotional materials can be downloaded below:
