Members Recognized for Work to Stop Impaired Driving  

The Van de Vorst family lost four loved ones to an impaired driver in 2016. Each year, MADD Canada bestows an award in their name to honour their memory and to support and recognize RCMP and municipal officers in their efforts to reduce the deaths and injuries caused by impaired drivers. This tragedy and legacy is a reminder of the critical role our Members play in keeping roads safe. At this year’s Van de Vorst Awards, 191 officers – including many RCMP Members – were recognized for removing impaired drivers, reflecting our Members’ ongoing commitment to keeping impaired drivers off the road.

Supporting RCMP Members in High-Risk Calls

Too often, safety comes at the price of our Members putting themselves in harm’s way to ensure public safety. In the last year, Saskatchewan RCMP Members have responded to high-risk incidents such as:

  • A fatal confrontation on Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation that left a Member in the hospital after responding to an assault call
  • An incident near Deschambault Lake where officers were threatened with a firearm, resulting in a fatal outcome

These unpredictable and volatile situations in rural and remote communities are made even more challenging by limited resources and backup. Supporting RCMP Members means equipping them with the tools they need, while ensuring independent oversight and accountability. By investing in officer safety, we build safer communities for everyone.
