In celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Medicine Hat Police Service (MHPS) a collection of “Cop Cards” are being released.
Thirty (30) MHPS Police and Peace Officers are participating in the program with each card containing a short biography of the officer and highlights a photograph selected by each individual member.
Throughout the history of the MHPS, cop cards have been created as a community engagement initiative with a goal to increase the approachability of officers and encourage interaction with members of the public. The last version of MHPS cop cards was distributed in 2010.
This time around, for the kids (and the young at heart), both printed and virtual versions of the cop cards are available to be collected. If a young person, under the age of 18 collects all thirty (30) cop cards, they will be eligible to win a reward from the Office of the Chief of Police.
