May 4, 2010 - Calgary Police Commission Community Dinner and Community Policing Awards

The Calgary Police Commission hosted another successful Community Dinner, with over 260 attendees from across the city. This is our annual event where community associations and cultural groups have an opportunity to sit down with members of the Calgary Police Commission and the Calgary Police Service to learn more about community policing in our city.

Our third annual Community Policing Awards were presented at the dinner. These awards allow to Calgary Police Commission to recognize individuals and groups in our city who contribute positively to community policing. This year's individual award winner was Fran Barnes, the supervisor of the Southern Alberta Forensic Outpatient Service. This year we had two group winners: the Calgary Youth Justice Society, who make it possible to divert youth away from the justice system and back onto a positive track; and the Victim Assistance Support Teams, who provide 24 hour, 7 day a week, 365 day a year, on call assistance to victims of crime and tragedy.
