There are people who serve our community, that in many ways, we take for granted.  We assume they will always be there when we need them.  The individuals in the Winnipeg Police Service are these kinds of people.  They are not only professionals in our community; they are also neighbours, relations, and friends.  We know they have a life in the community outside of being a police person.  

The Kiwanis Club of Winnipeg has decided to recognize police persons who have done exemplary community service through volunteering in the community.  On November 9, 2012, we will be hosting the first annual Top Cop Community Volunteer Gala.  This will be an opportunity for Winnipeg to celebrate and honour police personnel that are nominated by the community for their volunteer work, and to showcase the people we rely on every day to ensure the safety of our city.  

We are inviting nominations for Top Cop Community Volunteer from the community.  A community committee, comprised of representatives from the Police Service, Kiwanis, and the community will consider the applications received, and decide on the winner from amongst three finalists.  The three finalists will be presented at the gala dinner, and the winning Top Cop Community Volunteer will be announced.  

All are welcome to be part of the celebration on November 9th…all you need to do is purchase a ticket to the event and to join us at the Fairmont for the festivities.
