Members of the policing family here and across the world will have been appalled and saddened to hear of the brutal murders of three RCMP officers by a lone gunman in Moncton, New Brunswick on 4 June 2014.

In September 2009, I was privileged to lead a group from within the RUC GC family to the RCMP Memorial Day Parade and Service at their Depot in Regina.
