鈥� Last week the Prime Minister was in Saskatoon and I went up to assist. For those that have read previous articles you may remember I do VIP on the side. The Prime Minister has his full time detail and we take care of the extra security.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� The public sure can be rude. I was called all kinds of names just for doing my job. Nothing original, or memorable, but let us just say profanity was a common theme.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� I can tell you I did learn something though. Those motorized wheel chairs are heavy and they can turn real quick. I was standing in my static position as people were slowly moving into the event and in the crowd there was an individual in a motorized wheel chair. It was very crowded and before I knew it this individual had run over my feet and before I could move they spun their motorized chair around to see what they had聽run over and they got me again. I think they did it deliberately being I was not wearing a red tie and it was a Liberal event.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� While driving to Saskatoon I stopped an individual who was speeding and stated they needed to go to the washroom really bad. I followed them to the nearby gas station and waited for their return and provided them a reduced ticket. They expected more and advised they would get a Doctors note saying they had abdominal issues. I advised I would be more than happy and go to Court and explain the actual speed and fine they should have received. They were not very happy with me and when I left they were crying being they could not afford the ticket. I thought I felt a twinge of guilt until I realized it was a hunger pain and stopped shortly afterward for breakfast in Regina.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� As for what happened in the Carlyle area I can聽state that things聽kept happening and we were kept busy.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� We are back to normal and getting 911 miss dials. It was a good run while it lasted but everything ends sooner than later. We only had 3 false alarms which if nothing else gets us out patrolling to the area of the alarm if we have time and resources.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� Two individuals were arrested and charged for numerous offences relating to thefts from vehicles, cabins and sheds. One was charged with 17 offences including break and enter, theft under $5000,聽possession of stolen property, resist arrest, mischief and the other was charged with 14 offences including break and enter, possession of stolen property, theft under $5000 and mischief. Both subjects were brought to court and released on numerous conditions. As much as we hope they will comply with these conditions . . . enough said.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� A call came in where it was alleged individuals had taken a cat and were going to shave a profanity on it. Fortunately 鈥淭he cat came back鈥� and there was no shaving involved.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� Now if you find bones and think it might be human remains, please, please, don鈥檛 wait several days to call the RCMP. In this case it was the beloved remains of a pet that it appears everyone forgot had been buried.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� The family that keeps harassing and following each other, keeps harassing and following each other. We are not saying it is not happening, however, if both sides would just 鈥渓et sleeping dogs lie鈥� we would appreciate it. Or, 鈥淪top poking the bear鈥�
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� I am not sure how you can miss the big yellow orange bus but people can. We can鈥檛 prove what they were doing, however, we can surmise they were looking at their phone. That said when you drive right into the front of a stationary bus you warrant a $280 ticket for driving with undue care and attention. Fortunately there were no injuries.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� Canada Revenue Agency gets a bad rap at the best of times. Remember they only take cash. No other manner of payment. If they are asking for payment in any other manner it is not them.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� Remember the loving relationship that ended and the individual that paid to get their new significant other out of gaol. We are now looking for that individual being they are no longer complying with their release conditions.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� Now we understand people get upset when they get arrested. More so when they find out they are going to be charged. What one should not do is take it out on the Police Vehicle. In so doing an individual was charged for Mischief in addition to their substantive charges for failing to comply with their release conditions.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� Two calls of intoxicated individuals causing problems resulted in the RCMP giving a ride to a sober person to another residence and making extensive patrols for another suspect. On another occasion the person passed out before the arrival of the Police and the occupants no longer wanted our assistance.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� It is unfortunate that addictions and mental health issues result in charges and gaol sentences. It is not our desire to put individuals in gaol, it is our desire to make our community safer and unfortunately some times gaol is best for everyone concerned.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� If you are victim of theft please call us. However, if you call us 2 weeks after the fact there is not much we can do.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� We conducted another threat investigation which was more rudeness than anything. Remember, solve your problems quickly and block those callers.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� We received a call regarding concerns over a possible cannabis grow involving youth and a teenager that might be using in front of the younger children in the residence. Although we suspect everything provided us was true we were unable to locate the cannabis or prove that it was being used around children. Social Services assisted with our investigation.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� So your vehicle has a loud muffler and you think it is cool. Well it sure attracts the attention of those around you. Now if they don鈥檛 like the noise they may call the police and when we find your vehicle needs to have a block of wood put behind the wheel to stop it from rolling backwards and it does not have insurance......much paper was issued. Remember you attract attention it might not be the attention you want. I almost forgot. The driver was also arrested for driving while prohibited under the Criminal Code.
聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥� It is important to always have a licence plate on your vehicle. It is even more important that the plate is valid and belongs to you. This vehicle was seized being it was the second time the operator drove without insurance without the last 12 months, and was caught. We know they were driving more often than that.
