A few local officers were among the honourees at the recent Ontario Provincial Police Accolade Awards.
The ceremony - which saw awards presented to OPP uniform, civilian, and auxiliary members who've distinguished themselves with "outstanding service" - included recognition for the North East Region Provincial Liaison Team, which received the Jim Potts Award for assisting with evacuations of the Kashechewan and Pikangikum First Nations communities between April and July 2019.
Among the eighteen members of the team recognized were Constables Amanda Huff and Andrew Dubbin, both of the Superior East detachment in Wawa.
