Hawkesbury OPP with ‘Rosie’ the mascot available for community events

Officers with the Hawkesbury Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are always willing to support and show up to community events.

On July 23, the Hawkesbury OPP and its mascot ‘Rosie’ were invited to the fourth annual La Baie Run, where Rosie encouraged runners and made a few young and young-at-heart smile.

On the same day the Hawkesbury OPP marine unit were invited to the ‘Flotilla for Autism Awareness’, where a scavenger hunt was part of the fun.

The Hawkesbury OPP love to participate in our community events, if you have an event coming up and would like to either have a Police information booth or have ‘Rosie’ come and say hi, please send your request to [email protected] .
