Black History Month has been officially acknowledged in Canada every February since 1995. The first Black Mountie joined our ranks in 1969. In the nearly 50 years since, we have become an even more diverse organization. This is a time to learn more about the many accomplishments and important contributions made by Black Canadians towards the settlement, growth, and the development of Canada. It’s also a time to reflect on the diversity of Black communities and their importance throughout Canadian history by recognizing #BlackHistoryMonth2021. #BHM2021 #TheFutureIsNow

BC RCMP and the BC Coroners Service continue to see results in their partnership reviewing and revisiting historical missing person’s cases, with yet another missing person case that dates back to 1967 now solved through DNA profiling. https://bit.ly/36ieCDJ In May 2021 it would have been 54 years since the unexplained disappearance of a man from the BC Interior, who was last seen in Coquitlam BC on May 27, 1967. The man’s family reported his disappearance to their local poli...ce in Kamloops who launched an investigation, which spanned decades. The man was just 41 years of age at the time he disappeared. According to investigative reports, on August 20, 1972 unidentified human remains were recovered on a beach of Saturna Island, which is part of the Canadian Gulf Islands, within the Strait of Georgia off the coast of the BC Lower Mainland. An identity was not established, despite an autopsy of those remains in the 70s. Those remains were buried on Salt Spring Island, until their exhumation in September 2020. After a lengthy scientific process performed at a British Columbia laboratory, complicated by the degradation of the remains, a DNA profile of the deceased was finally obtained. As a result of a comparison, conducted by our partners with the BC Coroners Service Special Investigations Unit, an identity for the deceased was established thanks to the detailed work of investigators who had obtained a sample of familial DNA for comparison. The DNA had been gathered from the missing’s daughter, during a fulsome file review conducted by the RCMP Southeast District Missing Person Coordinator back in 2014.

Young Nikolas recently sent the Coquitlam RCMP a police car that he had coloured and told them he wanted to be an officer. So he popped in with his sister to meet some officers and feel like a mountie for the day.

It’s Restorative Justice Week in BC! Did you know about this alternative method to the traditional court system of holding offenders accountable for their crimes? For more information on how it works, visit the BC RCMP website http://ow.ly/BJfj50CjO8Z

We’re celebrating Restorative Justice Week in BC. If you are a victim of crime, the RCMP can refer you to go through Restorative Justice as an alternative method of holding offenders accountable. Results have indicated that offenders participating in this process are less likely to re-offend or stop offending all together. The process has also resulted in increased satisfaction for both victims and offenders than the traditional criminal justice system approach. To learn more, visit the BC RCMP website’s Restorative Justice page http://ow.ly/BJfj50CjO8Z

Though this is a different kind of year, we must see the light through the darkness. Wishing all those celebrating peace, prosperity, and good fortune! May they all be with you and your loved ones in the coming year. A happy Diwali!

With everyone’s safety top of mind, due to the global pandemic, the annual RCMP Cram the Cruiser fundraising event for the Lake Country Food Bank has been cancelled this year. In order to abide by COVID-19 restrictions and Public Health Orders, and in an effort to bend the curve, Lake Country RCMP will not be hosting its annual Cram the Cruiser food drive event in early December, as it has every year since 2012. It was not an easy decision, but it was a necessary one to prote...ct everyone in the community. In speaking with Joy Haxton, Manager of the Lake Country Food Bank, we have decided to continue our efforts to support our local food bank by collecting new unwrapped toys for its 2020 Christmas Hamper program. Anyone who wishes to donate a new, unwrapped toy to the food bank for a family in need, is invited to drop that toy off to the Lake Country RCMP Detachment on Berry Road by Friday December 11, 2020. RCMP will also graciously accept any cash and cheque donations for the food bank at the front counter of the Lake Country RCMP Detachment on their behalf. #LakeCountryRCMP #RCMP #FoodBank #LakeCountry
