Wives of OPP officers are getting some long over-due recognition.
Provincial Police are accepting applications for the Silent Partner Awards, for the women who lived with their husbands in remote northern communities for more than a year.
Dennis O’Sullivan is a retired Inspector and says they have already received 25-applications.
The deadline is the end of September.
O’Sullivan says these women often took radio calls, dealt with complaints, and provided medical care when called upon.
He says the awards will be handed out in three ceremonies beginning next year.
