RCMP honour La Ronge Canadian Ranger Patrol for ongoing support
Members of La Ronge Canadian Ranger Patrol were honoured for their dedication and support to the communities they serve.
A special plaque was presented to the rescue group this morning by La Ronge RCMP Staff Sgt. Kyle Watson who said local officers wouldn’t be able to do their jobs without them. He stated rangers are an integral part of the police force being able to respond to certain calls, adding they have knowledge of the land that Mounties don’t as many come from big cities and other provinces.
“Having the rangers here is a huge asset,” Watson said. “The rangers are part of the local branch of the Canadian military and they do a lot of our search and rescue.”
