Policing is not just a job, nor is it simply a career – it is a calling. It requires a deep sense of duty, an unwavering commitment to justice and an inherent desire to serve others.
Every day, Officers step into a role that demands not only physical courage but mental resilience and moral strength. They are entrusted with safeguarding our communities and ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone they encounter.
Last night, we held an official ceremony in recognition of recently promoted GSPS members and new Officers joining our police service.
Promoted Officers:
- Sergeant Cameron Kidder

Last night’s ceremony was a momentous occasion, not only for the Officers being recognized but also for their families, friends and loved ones who support them on this journey. Policing can be challenging; it is essential that our Officers have a safe space to come home to after their shifts.
To our Officers, thank you for your service. We are proud of what you have accomplished and excited for what the future has in store.
