Several Nova Scotia police officers were recognized for their extraordinary work to take impaired drivers off provincial roads and highways at the inaugural Constable Heidi Stevenson’s Watch Award presentation today in Dartmouth.
The Constable Heidi Stevenson’s Watch Award is a collaborative effort by MADD Canada, the Nova Scotia Police Chief’s Association, the Nova Scotia RCMP and the Nova Scotia Department of Justice honoured Cst. Stevenson and recognized the efforts of police officers to reduce impaired driving.
Cst. Stevenson held many different roles throughout her 23 years as an active RCMP member, including as a dedicated Drug Recognition Expert.
She was especially proud of her expertise in that area and deeply committed to helping make Nova Scotia’s roadways safer. Cst. Stevenson was one of the 22 people killed by a gunman in April 2020 in Nova Scotia.
She was posthumously awarded MADD Canada’s Terry Ryan Memorial Award for Excellence in Police Service in honour of her work to prevent impaired driving.
