Two MJPS Members Receive Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal

On September 3, 2024, Staff Sergeant Cam Lewis and Constable Murray Rice were honoured for their years of service at the Government of Saskatchewan Protocol Office in Regina.

Both S/Sgt. Lewis and Cst. Rice was each presented with the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal by The Honourable Russ Mirasty, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan.

Being a member of the Moose Jaw Police Service has been a part of S/Sgt. Lewis’s life for 25 years. Within those 25 years, S/Sgt. Lewis has worked in the Community Policing Division and Criminal Investigation Section. He has served as a Constable, Corporal, Sergeant, and Staff Sergeant in those two units. Additionally, S/Sgt. Lewis was part of a joint Organized Crime Unit with the RCMP.

“It’s easy to lose track of what this career entails,” says S/Sgt. Lewis. “It was a nice reminder that I’ve spent almost half my life in the Moose Jaw Police Service. Receiving this award from The Honourable Russ Mirasty, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan was a tremendous honour.”

Cst. Rice has also been a member of the Moose Jaw Police Service for 25 years. During his time within the MJPS, he has worked in various units within the Service including the Community Policing Division, Criminal Investigation Section, and the Forensic Identification Unit.

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. Nominees must be personnel with 25 years of service in Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal honours protective services providers and focuses attention on the efforts and work of police, fire and emergency professionals, and others working in the field of safety and security.
