Durham Regional Police/2008 Special Olympics Spring Games Video
The Durham Regional Police Service has been a long time supporter of the Special Olympics and we are proud to be welcoming the 2008 Special Olympics Provincial Spring Games to our Region. Our Service was officially formed on January 1, 1974, amalgamating seven police forces from across Durham Region. This diverse area is home to over 600000 residents and stretches from Lake Ontario north to lake Simcoe and from Toronto east to Newtonville. As leaders in community safety, Durham Regional Police continually works toward making our region the safest for people to live, work and play. We are a problem solving organization, committed to providing quality service in partnership with our communities. Honoured with the distinction of being one of “Canada’s Top 100 Employers of 2007”, Durham Regional Police currently employs approximately 900 police officers and 300 civilian members. On behalf of Durham Regional Police, Deputy Chief and Spring Games Chair Chuck Mercier looks forward to welcoming athletes, coaches, volunteers, families and friends to Durham Region May 29-31, 2008 for this exciting event.
