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.
