PADAN is hosted by community and business leaders. The purpose of the dinner is to celebrate and recognize the men and women of the Durham Regional Police Service, both sworn officers and civilians, and the significant contribution they make toward public safety and quality of life within the Durham Region.

The funds raised go towards special programmes in support of police outreach efforts within the Durham community. Proceeds of the dinner are invested back into many different programs to help at risk youth, seniors, educational programmes as well as many other community building programmes. Over the past 19 years, PADAN has raised over $1.5 million to ensure officers have the resources they need thanks to the generosity of those who sponsor and attend the dinner.

Tables will be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis. A Durham Regional Police Service Member will be the ninth member of each table, courtesy of the Organizing Committee. Please send in your reply prior to September 25, 2022. Seating will be reserved upon receipt of payment.
