A Brandon constable is one of five police officers honoured by the province today with an award for their contributions to the community and public safety.
Const. Kirby Sararas will be presented with an Excellence in Law Enforcement award this evening at a meeting of the Manitoba Association of chiefs of Police.
"Every day, police officers are out there protecting us and our communities," said Justice Minister Andrew Swan, who will present the awards. "It is a privilege to pay special tribute to those whose efforts go beyond their already vital role in making our neighbourhoods safer and better places to live."
A member of the Brandon Police Service for 10 years, Sararas is cited as exemplifying excellence in policing through commitment to her duties and dedication to the community. She is a criminal investigator who has served on numerous community committees including the child-abuse committee. For the past five years, she has volunteered with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and helped created the Halloween Haunted House, which is a major fundraising event for the organization.
Recently-retired Altona police chief Glen Robinson will also receive an award. Robinson’s policing career began in Brandon in 1976.
A total of five officers from around the province will receive the awards. Recipients were selected by a committee consisting of representatives from Manitoba Justice, the Brandon Police Service, Winnipeg Police Service and Royal Canadian Mounted Police and were approved by the justice minister.
