Celebrating 30 years of excellence
For three decades, Police Appreciation Night has shone a light on the outstanding work conducted every day by members of York Regional Police. Awards include:
- Professionalism in Policing

- Rob Plunkett Outstanding Service to the Community
- Herbert H. Carnegie Community Award
- Leo McArthur Civilian Recognition Award
Guests will also hear a speech from the Grade 5 winner of the Police Chief for a Day contest.
Since the event’s inception, a dedicated group of community volunteers has worked to support our police service by raising over $3 million in support of York Regional Police programs and equipment. Since 2023, the event has provided integral support to two of our most important partners: Victim Services of York Region and the York Region Centre for Community Safety.
Drawing over 1,000 attendees annually, this event brings together a dynamic mix of corporate sponsors, local business leaders, government representatives, community partners, and police professionals.
