Chief of Police
Rivers Police Service had a relatively quiet month for March. I attended the elementary school and we discussed stranger danger, and what to do when approached by a stranger. I also attended a police board meeting in St. Anne, Man. and gave a small presentation on how the selection tool developed by the province worked for the chief of police position for Rivers. One file of interest was on March 2 when we were asked to attend the CN station as there was an unruly passenger on a Via Rail train. An adult male was arrested for breach of the peace and transported to Brandon.
