Police Chief Scott Tod has been awarded the 2021 Recognition Award by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP).
The award is given annually by the President of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police “to recognize a member in good standing who has consistently demonstrated exceptional involvement, extraordinary support, and outstanding initiative in advancing the CACP’s goals and strategic priorities."
The winner is chosen by the current president, with endorsement from the CACP Board of Directors.
"The winner of the distinguished CACP Recognition Award is considered to be a leader among leaders, an individual who exemplifies the association’s values of caring, courage, equity, integrity, openness, respect, transparency, and trustworthiness,” says a news release.
|It states Tod earned the award as a result of his “leadership of the Electronic Crime Committee and the invaluable advice and insight you bring to help law enforcement agencies across Canada keep up with the ever-changing fast pace of technology and evolving cybercrime threats.”
The CACP also recognized Tod’s work on the Canadian Integrated Response to Organized Crime Committee, which works to “advance national policing priorities related to organized crime, anti-terrorism, drug enforcement, and electronic crime.”
Tod says receiving the award is a tremendous honour.
"I want to dedicate this award to our team of sworn and civilian members at the North Bay Police Service who keep the people of North Bay and Callander safe each and every day. Their hard work and commitment to the job of policing is an inspiration to me.”
