Halton Detective takes “Excellence in Performance” Award at OWLE Ceremony

In an awards ceremony on May 1st, 2009, Halton Regional Police Detective Constable Bev Meehan was awarded the “Excellence in Performance” by the Ontario Women in Law Enforcement (OWLE), in recognition of her ground breaking efforts as a member of the Provincial Asset Forfeiture Unit.

Detective Constable Meehan has worked in the Provincial Asset Forfeiture unit since January 2007. She has broken new ground in removing the profits enjoyed by criminals as a result of their illicit activity.

Detective Constable Meehan’s assistance to other investigative units has resulted in the courts forfeiting property and cash totaling a value of over $1,000,000. 00. Her continued efforts have resulted in several million dollars worth of real estate, property and money restrained and still before the courts awaiting their ruling.

Recognizing that there exists strength in unity and numbers, O.W.L.E. encourages women from Ontario law enforcement agencies to collectively address their common interests and concerns, including increased access to networking and professional development opportunities. O.W.L.E. was granted official affiliate status with the IAWP in 1997.

Halton was recently named the safest region in Canada by Maclean’s for the second time. The Halton Regional Police Service is actively recruiting women and men interested in a career in law enforcement. For more information, contact (905) 825-4747 ext. 5112 or visit the HRPS website.
