Messages of Appreciation

Maybe you had an interaction with a Calgary Police Service member that you would like to thank them for, or maybe you’d just like to show your support? Regardless, we need your help to let the members of the Calgary Police Service know what they mean to Calgarians. It is our hope that these messages – long or short – uplift all CPS members and provide hope in times of darkness.

First of all I am behind 100% the wearing of the “Thin Blue Line” patch. For what the Police encounter, face and deal with every day there aren’t thanks enough. Especially in these times our Police should get all the funding and raises they deem necessary.

You have a tough job with, what appears to be from the outside looking in, limited resources and continual budget cuts, but you do an amazing job.
There is a small minority of people that will never have respect for what you do (or what any police service does). Ignore them, the rest of us, the majority, have complete respect for what you do to keep Calgarians safe. Thank you

Thank you to officers who support the family and victims of school bullying. It seems the police are the only ones who will step up and call it out. You are giving these kids hope that life can be worth living.

My family want to thank all the Calgary Police Service Officers for the daily sacrifices they make to keep our City safe! We are blessed to live in a City with a 1st class Police Service. Lots of people find it easy to criticize the Police without any thought of the dangers and complexity of a job where you are asked to put your life in danger to protect and serve a Community. Once again thank you to all the Police Officers for being there or all of us!

I have the upmost respect for all Police officers, Ive seen what they deal with in society that most people have no idea. They put their lives on the line every day. They pushed on a daily based to the brim and I’ve seen so many officers handle it with dignity and patience. I salute all the officers in Calgary!

I have only lived in Calgary since 2017 but want to express my gratitude for the fine Police Officers of CPS. I am a retired military person who has been exposed to extreme conditions at times during my service but never to the daily never ending battle the CPS face every day. I came home and was able to work in a safe environment until required to go again. It could be months and years between tours but these men and women do it every day. I take my hat off to you all. God bless every one of you and keep you safe as you keep us safe.

Over the last couple of years I have come to realize and appreciate the complexity, and difficulty, of the work our Calgary Police Service does every day – and I have had the privilege of seeing the efforts they are making to improve outcomes for the citizens of Calgary. We are lucky as Calgarians to have such a dedicated group of fellow citizens working on our behalf to make Calgary a better place. Thank you to all the members of the Police Service for the work you do!

I am a native Calgarian. 65 years in Calgary.I’ve always been proud of our police service. I’ve got few speeding tickets from time to time but deserved them. Other than the odd exception I’ve been treated with respect.
I appreciate our police service and have the utmost respect for the job you do. Know that most of us do appreciate and respect you and the work you do. It’s a difficult job you have and even harder these days. I hope this page gives you a little encouragement and assures you many of us care and respect the job you do. Thank you for being there for us.
Sincerely.

My husband is a police officer and I know how hard he works and how much he cares. I often see small amounts show up on our account statement because he has bought someone a meal or a coffee. Why do the phone-bandits never video these interactions? We don’t hear about these type of stories but they are happening all the time. You can be assured that in your time of need, our police officers will always be there for you.

I am so thankful that I live in Calgary because it is filled with caring and generous citizens. I appreciate the men and women of the Calgary Police Service who come to work each day, not knowing what they will face or have to endure. They chose to become a police officer because they wanted to make a difference in this city and they do. Thank you for all you do for us and I hope and pray that you all remain safe and strong while performing your duties.
