“I’m honoured to receive this award and proud to be able to represent the Durham Regional Police in this regard, “said Sgt. Hallett. “The courses are relevant, challenging and an excellent way to develop new skills. I plan to continue in the Dalhousie University Police Leadership Program, with the goal of earning the Advanced Certificate in Police Leadership.”
