RCMP attended mental health calls.
A well-being check was conducted for a family on an individual.
There was an incident involving a youth who took a nude selfie of themselves and it was forwarded on to others within the detachment area. Staff Sergeant Darren Simons explains, “If you receive the photo of an individual who is under age, think it’s funny, and send it to someone else you are now actually responsible for transmitting child pornography. Taking inappropriate photos is risky, if they do go out, it’s something that stays out there; it never leaves the digital world. If you receive something like this go to a parent, teacher, or the police right away.”
“Our goal isn’t to place charges; we’re focused on preventing it from happening and prevent it from continuing.”
