Background:
This year, Police Week runs from May 14 to 20, 2023. The theme for the week Building Bridges: Celebrating Police-Community Partnerships, highlights and celebrates the important role our police officers and personnel play in helping Ontarians build and maintain healthy and safe communities across Ontario in partnership with the communities we serve.
Police Week coincides with the Peace Officers Memorial Day, which is recognized internationally on May 15. Observed since 1970, this special week brings Ontario police services and communities together to honour and celebrate police officers and personnel for the extraordinary work they do every day.
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.
