The Regina Police Service Annual Awards were held today, January 19, 2016, at the Delta Regina, Umbria Room. The awards recognize the contribution to policing and community safety by members of the community and employees of the Regina Police Service. Persons or organizations are nominated for these awards by employees of the Regina Police Service.

• Special Service Award – presented to persons for their volunteer work in the community;
• Community Policing Award – presented for work such as problem-solving or crime prevention initiatives;
• Meritorious Performance Award – presented for operational or investigative work well above the standard;
