National Police Week began in 1970 as a way for the police to connect with their communities and to increase awareness about the services they provide.

The National Strategic Communications Working Group, consisting of strategic police communicators in police services across the country, has been entrusted with the responsibility to develop and promote the campaign.

National Police Week 2024 will take place from May 12 to 18.

A toolkit is developed to help support this public awareness campaign. It includes:

• A poster
• Social media content
• A news release template
