"We want the public to enjoy the holidays but, as several members of the public found out tonight, we will not tolerate Drinking and Driving. If you are planning to go out and have a drink, please make sure to have a Designated Driver or other mode of transportation arranged to get you home safely. When you choose to get behind the wheel drunk, you are putting yourself, members of the public, and members of LC's Emergency services at risk." Stated Cst. Haphazard of the Traffic Services Unit

Liberty City RCMP would like to remind the public that there is a Zero Tolerance policy when it comes to Drinking and Driving. The consequences of driving under the influence can be drastic, including fines, vehicle impoundment, loss of driver’s licence, and even jail time.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is urging anyone that sees a suspected impaired driver to call 9-1-1. It is also worth noting that as the holidays continue, drivers can expect to see more and more RCMP on the road looking for impaired drivers at checkpoints across the city.

Just remember, the holidays are much more enjoyable when everyone gets home safely!

LC RCMP Wishes All a Happy Holiday

 

Happy Holidays from the RCMP.

It is now that time of year again where the snow has fallen, the coco is hot and the presents have been wrapped and placed under the tree. The RCMP would like to extend to all of its citizens in Liberty City to have a safe and happy holiday period.

The schools are closed and business close down for the holidays. The Emergency Services including the RCMP, LCAS and LCFR continue to operate. Whilst many of you will be enjoying your holidays with your families, many men and woman will be away from theirs ensuring the safety of yours.

The RCMP and its brothers and sisters in LCFR and LCAS are reminding you to stay safe this holiday season and are giving you some important safety tips they recommend you to follow.

Around The House.

• Remove snow and ice, and put sand or salt on walkways and driveways. Arrange to have this done even when you are away and for a neighbour to pick-up your mail.
• Discard packaging from big ticket items carefully, bundling cardboard boxes to conceal the nature of their contents.
• Keep a record of your valuables.
• Identify property by engraving an identifying mark.
  
  Decorations
• Choose ones that are flame retardant, non-combustible, and non-conductive.
• Avoid the highly combustible combination of angel hair (glass wool) and spray snow.
• Use Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certified lights and string sets and make sure they are the proper lights for the environment. Outside lights may burn too hot for indoor use and indoor lights are not weatherproof.
• Be careful not to overload electrical outlets.
• Cut candle wicks short to prevent high flame.
  
  Driving.
• Wear your seatbelt correctly. Lap belts should be low and snug over the hips, while shoulder belts should be worn across the chest.
• Use a restraint system that is appropriate for your child’s height and weight. Remember, the safest place for children 12 and under is in the rear side of your vehicle.
• Install 4 identical snow tires.
• Clear all snow and ice from all windows, hood, roof, and lights before driving.
• Make sure you have lots of windshield fluid.
• Keep an emergency kit and warm blankets in the trunk.
• Let someone know your travel plans before you leave and be aware of travel and road conditions.
  
  If a crime has been committed at your home.
• Use your cell or a neighbour’s phone to call the police.
• Do NOT touch anything or clean up until the police have inspected for evidence.
• Note the license plate number of any suspicious vehicles.
• Note the description of any suspicious person(s).

The RCMP would also like to recommend if you plan on drinking this holiday season please drink responsibly and don't get behind the wheel, you won't just ruin your holidays but may be someone else's too. If you are drinking, give your keys to someone who isn't, arrange a ride home with someone who hasn't drunk alcohol or call a taxi. If you are with someone who wants to drive home after drinking and refuses to give up their keys or arrange another way home, call the police. If you are with someone who is drunk and acting inappropriately call the police to help.

The Emergency Services are here for you 24/7 including over the holiday period. They work to ensure your health and safety to make sure you can have a happy holiday time with your family.

So please remember the police officers, the firefighters, the paramedics, the doctors, the nurses and all other the emergency service workers these holidays.

Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit cracks down on gangs

The RCMP Officers of the Liberty City Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-LC) have announced their biggest crack down yet. The CFSEU have been highly active in the recent months across Liberty City.

The CFSEU lead officer, Cst. Lomax, wants to put out this message to anyone person who is in a gang or are affiliated to any. " The streets are not yours "

Unit lead, Cst. Lomax, wants the gangs and the public to know that his team are working hard to make the streets a safer place for everyone.

"CFSEU are getting results, we are taking the streets back from the gangs and are making them safe again for the community. Whether you are in a gang or work for one, it's only a matter of time before we will be seeing you" Cst. Lomax said.

The CFSEU have stepped up their recent efforts and have arrested and charged a number gang members recently for charges ranging from drug possession and trafficking to robbery, assault and homicide. A number of open investigations hope to end in more raids and arrests.

"This has just been the beginning, each day we learn more about that gangs and each day we are making a difference. The CFSEU Gang Intelligence Database is continuing to grow and it won't be long until the gangs are behind bars for their crimes" Cst. Lomax.

Though the RCMP's policy on commenting on active investigations is that they do not make any comment, they have said that the gangs should be worried. Despite the economic downturn CFSEU has been highly active and brought hundreds of suspects in.

The RCMP is proud of the work its officers are doing in the fight against the gangs and will continue to use all their resources avaliable to ensure that the people of Liberty City do not have to fear the gangs any more.

"The streets are not yours"

TWO VEHICLE ACCIDENT RESULTS IN ONE DEAD

December 4th, 6:30PM; An LCAS member was traveling east-bound on the Algonquinn-Dukes Express way when he came across a car accident between a large truck and a car. The medic pulled over, calling for RCMP and LCFR. The first RCMP unit to arrive on scene was Constable Mr Kitty Ghost; of the RCMP's Criminal Collision Investigation Team. He passed the scene and was concerned, then pulled over to assist. A few minutes later Constable Polden; a member of the Intergrated Specialized Operations (ISO), Lieutenant Anton; a member of Liberty City Fire Rescue (LCFR), and another member of LCFR who wishes to remain anonymous arrived to help.

After LCFR's "Rescue 71" Techincal Rescue vehicle arrived emergency workers were able to safely open the car's door. LCAS safely removed that patient from the vehicle. The patient was not complaining of pain, then of which CCIT questioned the suspect. Further investigations conducted by CCIT, lead RCMP officers to a Burger Shot on Carson street. Witnesses say this female tried to buy food but staff escorted her out of the building due to her behavior. A request for additional units was put out and Cst. First Class Muxlow responded to provide assistance and the suspect was detained. A breathalyzer test showed she was well over the legal limit. Sadly the driver of the semi truck passed away due to traumatic head injuries.

 Officers arrest a drunken suspect at Burger Shot.

 LCFR firefighters examine the wreckage.

 A paramedic watches over the scene.

"The subject from the car was clearly responsible for the crash. The only skid marks were from the tires of the truck and from my point of view, the marks were made because he was trying to stop. After the Paramedic secured the suspect from the car, I brethalyzed her and she came back way over the limit. Therefore I had reasonable evidence and to arrest her for Driving Under the Influence." Said Constable Mr Kitty Ghost of the Traffic Services Unit's CCIT.

"It is a shame to find these sort've things. With getting into the holiday season, regardless of the spirit. You need to keep inmind drinking and riving is illegal and dangerous. If you want to 'Have some fun' per se, please do so legally. Call a taxi; use public transit; pick a designated driver. Do something other than get behind the wheel of a vehicle while impaired. Not only does DUI put others' life's in danger, you risk yours too. Stay alive, don't drink and drive." Said by LCAS Reserve Coordinator Aidan.

LC RCMP Deal With Armed Suicidal Algonquin PD Officer

 Multiple RCMP officers were dispatched to the top level of a Franicis Int'l Airport for a man with a weapon. Insp. Glen, the first officer on scene, talked to the man who revealed himself as an Algonquin PD detective with more than thirty two years experience who had tried for the RCMP and failed and whose wife had left him. A trained ERT negotiator, Constable Jim Torque, was paged and staged at FIA detachment with the rest of the ERT team. Insp. Glen ordered that the negotiator get to the scene ASAP.

It was discovered he was Detective Andrew Rouge. Cst. Torque took over with negotiations and found he had a 45. calibre loaded service weapon. Dect. Torque had twenty two years as a beat cop and ten as a detective, had been rejected for promotion several times and failed to make the RCMP. He was given a black coffee with a bit of sugar (according to his requests). He openly showed signs of not wanting to hurt any of the officers on scene and admitted he had looked for help before but it had failed. He bonded with Insp. Glen who also had more than thirty years experience in law enforcement.

Exchanges went on for more than twenty minutes. Eventually he dropped his gun and threw it over the edge. Torque approached but the detective turned and pulled a second weapon, trying to take the negotiator hostage. Several shots were fired by RCMP officers at the suspect taking him down. No RCMP officers were injured and LCAS were cleared to enter.

The supsect's condition is currently classified.

 LET OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED AND INJURED.

Liberty City RCMP crackdown on car thefts with Bait Car operations.

 A man in a green hoodie and blue jeans strolls past a normal looking car. Where? East Cody Street. The car? A beige Bigaro. He quickly glances around and tries the door handle. Surprise! It opens! He slides into the drivers seat and starts her up. He pulls out into traffic with hundreds of other normal cars. Little does he know he's being watched. Pairs of hard trained eyes bore into the back of his head. For him its just another prize. Maybe he'll keep it. Maybe he'll sell it to some guy who'll have it sent to Mexico or Europe. Or he could give it to the drug dealer in Outlook Park who'll give him a wad of cash and some crack. But the brains behind the watching eyes no different. As the car passes a gas station a marked RCMP SUV whelps it's siren and peels away from the curb. Somewhere an officer presses a button. The car shuts down and the doors lock shut. The man is stunned and frozen in surprise. But not the eyes. Sirens start up and red and blue lights splash across the Bigaro's windshield. Officers, guns drawn, rush from their cars shouting commands. A police helicopter flies low overhead. The SUV pulls up behind the car and a high ranking officer leaps out, his sidearm aimed at the man's head. Another button is pressed and the doors unlock. Officers rush over and cuff the man who, in shock and surprise, complies. A search turns up a box cutter hidden in the man's sock. The arresting officer jokes with his superior, the SUV's driver. For them, its just another take down, just another arrest, just another day. For the car thief; the day he learned crime doesn't pay.

 The events above took place on Nov 30th 2013 when LC RCMP officers set up a bait car on East Cody Street. The take down took place moments later.
