Dear Bowen Island,
As I left the Police Station this evening, I was stopped in my tracks. Someone had left a bouquet of flowers at the foot of our proud wooden Mountie in memory of our fallen brother, Constable John Davidson. As you can imagine, it’s a tough conversation at home but also an opportunity to appreciate one another. Thank you kind stranger, this means more than you know.
This also speaks volumes of the people we are here to serve on Bowen Island. It’s a great opportunity thank the kind resident who, this summer, did not hesitate in hiking along side Cst Chris Coulter to help locate a missing hiker. Thank you to the locals that assisted us in safely controlling a violent intoxicated person in the Snug Cove area who fortunately got the help they needed. There are many more to thank for their help in making our jobs easier. As much as we are here to keep our community safe, today it was confirmed that my community has us in their hearts and minds and wants us to be safe as well.
Cpl. Paulo Arreaga
