During Thursday’s Police Services Board meeting, Belleville police honoured a string of their officers and staff with awards for their performance.
The first to be recognized was Jordan Ackerley, a 911 call-taker and dispatcher who was recognized provincially by the National Emergency Number Association. He received the Memorial President’s Award for demonstrating exceptional empathy, pride in their role, and a passion for helping others.
Next was Sergeant Pat Comeau, who was granted a Chief’s Commendation for his role in leading and organizing the Cops and Kids Fishing Derby.
