WINDSOR, ONT. -- The Chatham-Kent Police Service is joining police services across Ontario and Canada in kicking off Police Week, which honours and celebrates the work front-line police officers, 9-1-1 communicators, civilian staff, and all members of our police service do to keep our citizens safe and healthy, especially during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. This year, Police Week runs from May 9 to 15, 2021. The theme for the week is Working Together to Keep our Communities Safe which highlights the commitment of police services to develop partnerships that enhance the safety and well-being of everyone in our communities. Police Week was first observed in 1970 and coincides with the Peace Officers Memorial Day, which is recognized internationally on May 15.
