Most Islanders recognize that the job of policing in today's ever-changing society is a challenging task. Crime Stoppers and our primary sponsor, Maritime Electric, wish to shine a spot light on those members of the Policing Community that go far beyond the regular scope of their duties.

The awards are presented annually to law enforcement officers in each category that have demonstrated a high degree commitment and professional excellence in the performance of their respective duties, in their interactions with the public, as well as community involvement outside of their assigned duties.

The "Law Enforcement Officers of the Year" Awards is an event designed to recognize that extra effort. Awards will be presented in three categories; one to a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, one to a member of a Municipal Police Service and one to other Law Enforcement Officers. Nominees must be currently working in the province of Prince Edward Island. The deeds for which they be recognized should reflect things they have done in the past year; 2025/2026. That said, these individuals have likely been doing these extra things for much longer.

Nominations are now being accepted, in confidence, from police or peace officers, as well as members of the public and community organizations for:

Law Enforcement Officer of the Year - Royal Canadian Mounted Police
- Municipal Police Service.
- other PEI Peace Officer

The deadline for applications is October 2nd. 2026 at 5:00 p.m. These awards will be presented at the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year luncheon at the Quality Inn & Suites Downtown on Friday, October 16th. 2026.
