Police Order of Merit Appointments

Summary#

This Canada Gazette item records appointments to the Order of Merit of the Police Forces. The appointments, signed by Richard Wagner, Administrator of the Government of Canada, were published on November 6, 2021 and bear the seal dated June 1, 2021.

What it does#

• Announces that people have been named to the Order of Merit of the Police Forces at the ranks of Officer (O.O.M.) and Member (M.O.M.).
• Lists the individual appointees by name and rank. The full list appears in the Gazette notice.
• Notes that some listings are promotions within the Order (marked in the Gazette).

Who's affected#

• The people named in the notice — serving and retired police officers and civilian contributors who appear on the list.
• Police services and the families and colleagues of those honoured may notice or mark the recognition.
• The general public is not directly affected; this is an honours announcement rather than a policy change.

Why it matters#

• These appointments formally recognize service and contributions to policing in Canada.
• The notice makes the honours public and official, so recipients can cite the award and the public record documents the recognition.
