Incident at Mickey’s Camp – Part three
Link to Part one Cutting himself while sawing off the shotgun, gave us our first big break, for we learned from Trevor’s statement that the culprit’s left hand was bandaged. What was more, it was bandaged professionally. A quick call to the hospital and I learned that there had been two people get their hand

Incident at Mickey’s Camp – Part two
Link to Part one. What might have been a fairly straight forward investigation, had we encountered the suspect on the road, was now growing increasingly complex. We had a suspect somewhere on the loose, armed with a handgun that he wasn’t afraid to use, and we had no idea who he was. We began to

Incident at Mickey’s Camp
It had already been a busy shift, and technically we hadn’t even started it yet. In the first 20 minutes since 5:00, when we came on call, Tom and I had responded to ten complaints, and it seemed like everyone was just getting warmed up. We needed to head back to the office to regroup,

DWN
Inspiration is where you find it I guess, and inspired by my "just a t-shirt" comment in the previous post I thought I’d offer up this little anecdote from La Ronge. I had been sitting in the office on a beautiful summer’s Sunday afternoon, when the call arrived. The caller was reporting that they had

Okay. He’s definitely shooting at me, do I know this guy? Conclusion
Link to Page one. Once behind the Hamlet office I got out to see if the truck had been hit. I just made it around to the passenger side near the hood when three more shots rang out. Obviously I hadn’t pulled completely behind the Hamlet office. I got in and backed up a few

Okay. He’s definitely shooting at me, do I know this guy? Part four.
Link to Page one. Early that January I was at the Hamlet Office, having a short meeting with the Mayor when my partner Eric called to say that we had a call and that I needed to come back to the office right away. The call seemed straight forward enough, a youth, three weeks shy

Okay. He’s definitely shooting at me, do I know this guy? Part three.
Link to Part one. A day or two before the incident we had a complaint about the theft of a couple of rifles and shotguns, so when a call came in about shooting in the bush off the cutline behind the office, we immediately thought it was someone with the stolen guns. James and I

Okay. He’s definitely shooting at me, do I know this guy? Part two
Link to page one. Several times in my career, despite my belief that I held my own personal safety as my highest priority, I made some really dumb decisions. Now I firmly believe that whenever I came to those decisions they made perfect sense and it was only after events unfolded, or even after they

Okay. He’s definitely shooting at me, do I know this guy? Part one
The first time I was shot at I wasn’t yet a member. I was hunting deer on my Uncle’s farm, and had been still hunting alone along the slope of a step in the valley. Mid November there were not any leaves on the poplars I was working my way through. Just down from the

Fish heads, fish heads Conclusion
After things settled down a bit we still had a lot of foot work to do with the murder and the other investigations that were going on. Once Jasper was safely tucked away in cells after his lawyer left my first priority was to locate the murder weapon. The dog man was already on his
