RCMP Officers, Cadets, Public Remember Fallen Officers

Reported By Geoff Smith News Talk 980:

It was a day to reflect on the sacrifices made by those charged with our safety. People gathered Sunday at the RCMP Training Academy in Regina for the annual memorial service for fallen officers.Loralee Moore is from Nashville, and attended the service while in Regina for a conference. She says seeing the dedication of those in attendance was very moving. This past year saw two more RCMP officers killed in the line of duty, bringing the total to 220. Constables Chris Worden and Douglas Scott died in shooting incidents in northern Canada last fall. Scott's father Doug struggled to maintain his composure as he told reporters his son was honoured to serve. Scott says attending the memorial is like a big support group for the families. RCMP Commissioner William Elliott says it's encouraging to see so many loved ones return year after year for the service.
