We as Members of your local RCMP Detachment appreciate the support we receive from the general public. That said, we are realistic and accept that we some times annoy or irritate people. Well, charge and arrest people. We often call ourselves 鈥淪heep Dogs鈥�. The sheep don鈥檛 like us because we are dogs, however, they sure appreciate us when the wolves are around. That said, we are also your neighbours, coaches, and if you give us a chance, your friends.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 In addition, we often get 鈥減ainted with a wide brush鈥� or stereotyped. This is unfortunate and unfair but it is our reality.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Now if you have a concern come talk to us. You don鈥檛 have to be afraid of us, although some suggest we are scary, trust me we are not. I can鈥檛 say the same for our spouses. LOL
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� If you have warrants and you don鈥檛 want us to keep coming to your house let us help you clear up your warrants. This is not 鈥淗ollywood鈥�. In Canada it is usually a quick piece of paper and you are on your way. If real serious show up for a court day and you may just have to sit a while and let a Judge release you. I strongly suggest you clear up your warrants when it is convenient to you. Otherwise you may get arrested in a vehicle, or when you are working or trying to get to work. We are willing to work with you, that is if you will work with us.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� YOU ARE NOT A WINNER, YOU DID NOT INHERIT MONEY, YOU DON鈥橳 OWE THE GOVERNMENT MONEY FOR UNPAID TAXES. Ok, maybe you are a winner, but if you need to pay money to get your winnings it is a fraud. If you inherited money you will not have to pay money to get it. If you don鈥檛 pay your taxes you will not be arrested. In addition, if you are asked to pay in bitcoins, I-Tune cards or anything like an I-Tune card, it is not legit.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� We seem to have had a fair amount of issues with 911 this week. Static lines, which is as best as we can figure a 鈥渃omputer鈥� or 鈥渓ine鈥� issue was the cause of most, however, we still get miss dials, which is usually caused by rushing. We also had our聽fair share of false alarms and Mental Health calls.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� We had a report of a sign being shot. I would not want to live around any sign in rural Saskatchewan. I don鈥檛 get the novelty of shooting signs but it happens.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� If you are on conditions to not drink, be of good behaviour and reside at a certain place you should not attract attention to yourself. Thus, when you are drunk and knocking on someone鈥檚 door they may call the Police and you may find yourself in the custody of the constabulary. Now if you also have warrants . . . yup, they had warrants as well. Not too smart.

The speeds were admittedly under 80 km/hr but over 50 km/hr. They felt it would have been safer for them to walk the dog on the highway. Regardless, pedestrians are permitted to walk on our roadways. Generally, we expect drivers to slow down and show respect. In reality it only delays you a few seconds.
