The Carlyle RCMP detachment dealt with several files from Thursday, Nov. 30 to Thursday, Dec. 7.
“This week, we were pleased to welcome RCMP Corporal Cory Patterson and Detective Constable Peter Froh from Regina Police Services for an important presentation at Carlyle Elementary School,” says Corporal James Barnett of the Carlyle RCMP detachment. “We's also like to extend a thank you to CES Principal Tyler Fehrenbach for his involvement in bringing this presentation to Carlyle.”
“Both of these officers work in Saskatchewan's Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit,” explains Barnett. “As a police officer and a parent, I was impressed by the presentation and found it very informative. These officers discussed child safety, the dangers of social media and internet sites, the exploitation of children within our province and within Canada, and most importantly, what parents and community members need to know, especially with regards to the possible dangers to children that accompany technology.”
“This information is important for all parents, grandparents and caregivers. If anyone in the community was unable to attend and has any questions or concerns, please contact me at the Carlyle detachment.”
