Response: Ministry Of Public Safety and Solicitor General
In July 2006, the Province of British Columbia (Province) wrote the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) to consider an application for the inclusion of Auxiliary Constable Glenn Evely on the National Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial (CPPOM). The Province was advised that both the application and the appeal were rejected unanimously by the board, on the basis that “an Auxiliary member operating in a voluntary capacity does not meet the criteria or the intention of the CPPOM Honour Roll”.
However, the Province will continue to pursue this issue with CACP executive and ask them to review this decision and take the necessary steps to include Auxiliary Constable Glenn Evely on the National Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial.
