Cornwall, ON – On the evening of Thursday, May 9, 2024, the Cornwall Police Service (CPS), Cornwall Police Association (CPA) and Senior Officers’ Association (SOA) held the inaugural Retirement & Appreciation Evening.

The Peer to Peer Appreciation awards were presented for the first time. The Difference Maker Award and the Leadership Award were selected based on nominations and voting by CPS employees. These awards provided employees the opportunity to show their appreciation for colleagues’ dedication, leadership and making a difference each day at CPS.

The Difference Maker Award is bestowed to an individual who routinely gives their all during the course of their duties and goes above and beyond their outlined regular responsibilities. This individual is regularly involved in the community and positively represents CPS.

Cst. Andrew Booth-Reddick earned the award for 2023.

Cst. Booth-Reddick is a valuable asset to CPS as he always demonstrates a positive attitude and sense of humour. He is also a contributing member of the EDI Committee and represents the values of EDI in a calm and reassuring manner. Cst. Booth-Reddick can always been seen with a smile on his face and is easily approachable. His positivity is contagious and he always leaves you with a smile on your face after speaking with him.

The Leadership Award is bestowed to an individual who routinely demonstrates leadership qualities by demonstrating positivity, problem solving, communication and mentorship. This individual upholds, represents, and helps to reinforce the organization’s values of Integrity, Respect and Empathy. It is awarded to an individual who encourages collaboration, communicates effectively and recognizes the contributions of others.

Sgt. Mark Anderson earned the award for 2023.

Sgt. Anderson always helps out, problem solves and is constantly kind and respectful. He leads by example and is the first to congratulate and encourage his staff and colleagues. He is the definition of pleasant, approachable, hard working, respectful, caring, genuine and a great person to all who come in contact with him. Sgt. Anderson frequently offers to assist and always conducts himself with decorum, demonstrating respect when dealing with CPS employees and members of the community. He supports the Criminal Investigation Division team, collaborating with other agencies and presents options to ensure the most satisfactory outcomes for his people. He encourages and values the contributions others make to help CPS.

The CPS would like to congratulate all of the recipients on their incredible achievements and continued dedication to serving the City of Cornwall.
