Summerside police Chief Dave Poirier picked up some hardware at this week’s P.E.I. Crime Stoppers annual meeting.
Each year Crime Stoppers recognizes exceptional work being done by Island police services by presenting awards to two officers, one municipal and one RCMP who go above and beyond their regular duties during the past year.
The organization received a record 14 nominations this year. All, said organizers, “who certainly qualified for the award.”
Municipal Police Officer of the Year Poirier was recognized “for his leadership, volunteer work and community involvement both on and off duty.”
