The mission of the Police Appreciation Night organizing committee is to support the mandate of York Regional Police by organizing and conducting an event or events that will encourage public support of the service and raise money to fund police programs and equipment.
The annual dinner also highlights the good work being done each and every day by members of York Regional Police. Awards include Excellence in Policing, Garrett Styles Bravery in the Line of Duty and Rob Plunkett Outstanding Service to the Community. Also presented annually are the Herbert H.
