The Prince George RCMP invites the public to a block party Sept. 14 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the opening of the city's detachment building.
It will happen on Victoria Street outside the building from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and will include food trucks from Wings ‘N’ Things, Detsan Cyo Bannock and Afro Caribbean Cuisine.
We want this to be a family-friendly celebration that will also help to showcase some of the units that work inside the detachment," states Insp. Darin Rappel, acting detachment commander. "Policing has changed in the ten years since the Detachment first opened and this is a great opportunity for our community members to come and meet some police officers and explore what their units do.
Police officers from the detachment's traffic services section, general investigative section, special victims unit, victim services unit, community policing, STRIVE and others will be at tables to talk to visitors about what they do. As well, guests from the operational control centre, proactive recruiting and the body-worn camera section will also be there.
There will also be photo opportunities with Safety Bear, Mr. PG and police officers in red RCMP serge uniforms.
