Police officers routinely put themselves between civilians and myriad
dangers. From traffic control to crime investigations, these men and women
work tirelessly to uphold the laws of our land while keeping communities
safe and secure. Theirs is a job fraught with great risk; when necessary, they
run toward danger with little thought of themselves as they move swiftly to
protect both life and property, while maintaining law and order.
A heartfelt way to recognize the valor and dedication of these men and
women who face danger each day in the line of duty!
About the Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Ken Ryan, the coin uses selective color
over detailed engraving in this detailed rendition of a police officer in
action. Engraved in the background is an iconic police car parked on
the side of a paved roadway, at the edge of an open space where a few
trees dot the rolling landscape. Selective color brings to life the dark
blue uniform of the police officer in the foreground, along with the red
striping on the pants and the band around the peaked police cap.
Responding to a crime in progress, the officer sprints into action with
right hand stretched towards the equipment belt that is within easy
reach, while the left hand brings a whistle to the officer’s lips.
