Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of attending the tribute dinner for Staff Superintendent Gary Grant. Anyone who knows Gary will not be surprised to learn that the evening was full of fun and laughter.
The one point that everyone in the room reflected on was the important place that Gary has within Services’ history. It was Gary, who in 1984 introduced the Crime Stoppers Program to the Toronto Police Service. Crime Stoppers has proven to be a highly successful initiative that provides an impressive volume of useful tips to investigators.
On May 25, 2007 Gary was installed into the Order of Merit of the Police Forces by the Governor General. This award “honours a career of exceptional service or distinctive merit displayed by the men and women of the Canadian Police Services, and recognizes their commitment to this country. The primary focus is on exceptional merit, contributions to policing and community development.”
On behalf of the Toronto Police Services Board we wish Gary a healthy and happy retirement.
