Police Officer Honoured For Work With Youth

Constable Todd Snooks, a community liaison officer with the York Regional Police is been honoured for his work with youth.

The 13-year police veteran is this year's recipient of the Bud Knight Award, recognizing commitment and dedication to youth, above and beyond the call of duty.

The award acknowledged Snooks for his many contributions including the creation of a Photography Club mentoring program in York Region. The club allows youth to experience positive interactions with police officers using photography to open communication and build rapport.

Together, students and police are taught the art of taking pictures and engage in activities such as organizing an art display at the Union Village Festival in Markham.

The Bud Knight Award was established in 1990 to honour the career of Herbert 'Bud' Knight, an Ontario Police College instructor. Now retired, Knight was instrumental in establishing a Committee of Youth Officers with the college in 1979.
