Dear Inspector.John R. Sutherland:
I would like to extend my sincerest congratulations to you for receiving the
Leadership Award from the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police. It was a
privilege to be in attendance while you and your colleagues were honored. The
commitment you have demonstrated to improving officer morale cannot be
overstated in its importance to community safety in North Battleford.
Your ability to engage with elected officials and community partners has allowed for
a smooth transition during the North Battleford municipal and rural unit
amalgamation . Our provincial crime reduction strategies would not be achievable
without officers skilled in management and administration such as you.
Saskatchewan communities rely on leaders within our law enforcement agencies
that enhance accountability among officers. Your efforts to create a healthy and
cohesive workplace set the standard . Beyond this, your leadership in the
development of a strategic plan for the delivery of policing services in the Battlefords
Detachment illustrates the excellence I have come to expect from experienced
officers such as yourself.
Your part in the creation of a respectful culture among your colleagues will no doubt
be felt by the people you serve. Once again, congratulations to you on behalf of the
Government and the people of Saskatchewan for your well-deserved recognition .
