LISIMS/Nass Valley RCMP police report

December 2014

Hello to all.  I hope everyone had an excellent holiday season and you were able to spend some quality time with your families.  This is a new initiative that I hope the people of the Nisga’a Nation consider worthwhile.  I am going to start posting a monthly policing report from the LISIMS/Nass Valley Detachment.   I find adding a little humour to the report (where appropriate) seems to be well received.

In the month of December 2014 the LISIMS/Nass Valley RCMP responded to 112 calls for service.  In December 9 prisoners were lodged in Detachment cells.

There were 6 reports of Motor Vehicle accidents.  Please take this as a reminder that with the frequent weather changes driving can be a bit of an adventure.  Please allow yourself a little extra time to reach your destination, and make sure your vehicle is properly prepared for winter driving.  Winter tires are a requirement until April 1^st, 2015.

LISIMS/Nass Valley RCMP continue to investigate several serious assaults that took place in the month of December.   Charges are being recommended to Crown Counsel.

Alcohol was a major contributor in the majority of criminal offences that took place over the month of December. 

On December 20^th, 2014 members seized drugs from a vehicle at a road check. 

LISIMS/Nass Valley Detachment members made patrols of several social functions on New Year’s Eve.  It appeared everyone was behaving themselves.  Cst. Rosanne “Rosi” KOMLOS even showed off her best  80’s dance moves!

LISIMS/Nass Valley members attended several functions in the month of December. Two school talks were given focusing on the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

Members attended the Christmas Craft fair, Christmas dinner, the basketball tournament, Christmas parade and the snow queen pageant.  Members also attended a “pageant” of a slightly different kind in Gingolx.  

If you have information on a crime or wish to report a crime, please contact the LISIMS/Nass Valley RCMP at (250)633-2222.  You can also contact crime stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). 

Sincerely,

Sgt. Jim FENSKE
Detachment Commander
