Saskatchewan Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty recently presented two long-standing Moose Jaw Police Service (MJPS) members with Saskatchewan Protective Service Medals for their years of service. The Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal recognizes “exemplary long service for individuals working in a direct capacity to protect people and/or property and supervisory personnel in the public service sectors who ensure the safety, security, and protection of Saskatchewan citizens.”
The honour is a bestowment to protective service providers including the police, emergency personnel and others working in community safety and security.
Deputy Chief Rick Johns and Staff Sergeant Trish Seman were the honoured recipients.
Deputy Chief Rick Johns has been a member of the MJPS for 25 years and has been MJPS’s Deputy Chief for the last five years, following his work in the Community Policing Division, Community and Strategic Services Unit, Integrated Organized Crime and the Criminal Investigation Section (CIS).
“It was an honour to attend the Government House and receive this medal from Lieutenant Governor, Russ Mirasty.” says Deputy Chief Johns. “It was also a privilege to watch many other first responders in the province be recognized with a Protective Services Medal for their contributions to public safety.” S/Sgt. Seman has been with the MJPS for 28 years and currently leads the Information Management Unit (IMU). Throughout her time with the Service, she has been a part of the Community Policing Division, Community and Strategic Services Unit, and the Criminal Investigation Section (CIS).
“It has been a great honour and privilege to work with incredible people and serve my community for 28 years,” said S/Sgt. Seman.
