聽 聽 聽 聽 聽鈥� We again lucked out and 911 was not called by mistake. We did, however, have 3 false alarms. As you can imagine we don鈥檛 rush to alarms.聽
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� We assisted several other Detachments and Police Services with serving documents or arresting individuals on their warrants.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� If you think there are more of us around, well there are. Cst. COX joined us from Biggar and Cst. GLASSER from La Loche. They have been an excellent addition to the Traffic Unit and Detachment.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� A prolific offender has recently been released. This individual is well known for stealing trucks. I am not saying their behaviour was not modified while they were in the Correctional Facility, however, I am saying you should lock your vehicles.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� I know聽we can never say it enough, but don鈥檛 take a cheque from someone you can鈥檛 trust, heck, sometimes you shouldn鈥檛 take one from someone you can trust. Our related fraud file was resolved without charges.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� If someone is harassing you via text message or social media, block them. It is the simplest聽and most successful way to end your grief.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� We had a report of 4 intoxicated teens approximately 20 years old walking on a road.聽Yup 20 year old teens, I had thought teen only went up to nineteen? 聽We found them and we provided them a ride to a safe location.

Trust me we will come a looking, being we are concerned about the impaired driver. On this occasion we could not find the driver. Lucky for them, if we did we would have arrested them.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� We have had a couple people come in requesting Peace Bonds. I have never been involved with one being normally once the story is told we have enough to lay Criminal charges and put the other party on conditions of no contact. This is quick, where a Peace Bond is not and requires both sides to go to court and explain why a Peace Bond is necessary. I would suggest that these individuals are just wasting their time and ours.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� In addition, being harassed is not Criminal unless you fear for your safety, as in life and death or serious injury. Fearing someone is not enough. Trust me, when my wife is mad I fear her and I may think she is harassing me, but it is not Criminal . . . wait, no I am safe she rarely reads these articles.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� A neighbour dispute continues. Apparently one adult is upset at the children living with the other adult being it is alleged their children had stolen toys. Fear of violence was reported. When we asked if there were any weapons involved we were advised there were no guns but they have some sticks. I am sure we will come back and visit these folks again, especially when they both keep at each other on social media. On a side note, we did not seize any sticks.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� If you are in one province and think you can threaten someone in another province and get away with it you are wrong. It does complicate the investigation slightly, but we will bring you here to be dealt with. We are presently working with Brandon Police Service where we both have a vested interest in the same accused.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� A 12 year old allegedly took a family member鈥檚 car. The vehicle was located in another Detachment area and the parents attended and picked up the wayward youth and the vehicle.聽
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� Members responded to a report of younger adults shooting fireworks at each other. The caller was not too concerned about the individuals shooting the fireworks, rather about the fireworks hitting residences and vehicles. We located the individuals and tried to educate them about their聽lack of judgement. I did say try. All we can do is try. 聽
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� A traffic stop was conducted due to an obstructed licence plate. The resulting investigation determined the driver was disqualified and on Probation for which they were charged and the vehicle seized. Now you wonder why we deal with the little things? Here is a perfect example聽where we deal with a small thing聽and find so much more.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� So you are in a new relationship and you聽are well known to the聽Police in the area you live and choose to move in with your new romantic interest and think nobody will notice. You can鈥檛 just move without advising the Police. We will find out. Unfortunately, for one of our new聽community members they found out love does not trump the Criminal Code and they were charged for breaching their release conditions. 聽
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� We have been chasing noisy vehicles and fortunately caught one. Folks just because you can make noise with your vehicle doesn鈥檛 make it legal.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� We had an individual that attended court and stated to the Judge that the ticket for a cell phone violation showed 鈥淣one鈥� as the middle name and that was not their middle name. This is automatically filled on the ticket when it is printed. The Judge therefore tossed the ticket. The Member therefore went and re-issued the ticket. Still a win for us but the violator was sure upset. With the assistance of SGI this issue is being rectified.
