The Constable Heidi Stevenson’s Watch Award is a collaborative effort by MADD Canada, the Nova Scotia Chiefs of Police Association, the Nova Scotia RCMP and the Nova Scotia Department of Justice to honour Cst. Heidi Stevenson and to recognize the efforts of police officers to reduce impaired driving. This year, 75 police officers are being honoured for their efforts in impaired driving enforcement in 2025.

Cst. Heidi Stevenson held many different roles throughout her 23 years as an active RCMP member, including as a dedicated Drug Recognition Expert. She was especially proud of her expertise in that area and deeply committed to helping make Nova Scotia’s roadways safer. Cst. Stevenson was killed in the line of duty. She was one of the 22 people killed by a gunman in April 2020 in Nova Scotia. She was posthumously awarded MADD Canada’s Terry Ryan Memorial Award for Excellence in Police Service in honour of her work to prevent impaired driving.
