The Chief of the Dryden Police Service is commending staff and officers for another year of dedicated service.
Through all the challenges that 2020 presented, Chief Doug Palson says they want to recognize more than ever the dedication of staff and city supporters.
“There’s a message that I sent out to all of our staff, not only the people we officially recognize (and award) but everybody for the good work they did this year and all their efforts in getting through 20202. We really do like the opportunity to recognize some of the people who support us within the city.”
The DPS Fall meeting and presentation awards couldn’t go on as planned due to COVID-19 and was done through a virtual message.
Palson also notes staff are doing their best to abide by COVID-19 rules and protect the community.
“We have plenty of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) right now and masks. Our staff members are abiding by the rules and doing their best, because they know it’s up to them, health and safety for themselves, their families and everybody else.”
Some awards of note include:
Detective Sergeant Kaus and Lesley -Ann Norman were both honoured with Long Service awards, for 20 years with the DPS.
Chief Doug Palson-5 years of Service
Constable Bruce Watson-5 years of Service
Certificate of Commendation- Sergeant Scott Silver, Constable Paul Howarth, Constable Allin Marcino and Constable Johnathan Slater
