 Off Patrol, Memories of B.C. Provincial Policemen |
Off Patrol, Memories of B.C. Provincial Policemen 5.5"x8.5" (14x21.5 cm) soft cover 159 pages B.C. Provincial Policemen were Western Canada's first lawmen, their heritage dating to 1858, nine years before Canada was born. From stagecoach days to the jet age they policed an area larger than Washington, Oregon and California combined. Always few in number, they made the difficult routine. In 1914, for instance, Constable Robert Pyper, below at Soda Creek lockup, rode over 400 miles in Chilcotin winter bringing a murderer to justice. At McDames Creek in northern B.C., Constable Jack Meek routinely trekked 500 wilderness miles by dog team in sub-zero weather for his mail. In almost a century of service, these officers established a reputation as one of the most outstanding police forces in North America. Here are their stories, written by the men themselves. |
