The Awards Program recognizes outstanding contributions and achievements by Service members and members of the public. Recipients are recognized individually, or in groups, for acts of excellence, bravery, altruism, innovative contributions to community policing, public safety, and professional excellence. Service members are also recognized for their dedicated long service with milestone awards. A Standing Awards Committee comprised of uniform and civilian members of various ranks and positions from across the Service and representation from the Toronto Police Service Board (TPSB), reviews eligibility for awards to ensure fairness and consistency.

The Awards program follows the TPSB policy: Toronto Police Service Board - Awards
