Members were busy this week with several files including:A single vehicle rollover on Highway 8 south of Spy Hill. The lone female occupant of the vehicle was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The vehicle had been reported stolen from Manitoba earlier that day. Alcohol is suspected to be a factor in the rollover. The matter is currently still under investigation.
Another single vehicle rollover on Highway 22 east of Esterhazy. An adult male was located and arrested for impaired driving. The male was taken to hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. The matter is currently still under investigation.
Early morning traffic patrols continue to locate vehicles speeding on the highways. Several more tickets were written this week.
Another complaint of a bickering couple, this time in the Churchbridge and Bredenbury area. The problem appeared to be property being thrown out. The male then went on to leave a rather unpleasant voicemail for his ex-girlfriend. While no criminal acts were committed, the officers assisted to keep the peace.
Complaint of a party in a well-known location near Langenburg. Officers conducted a checkstop for the vehicles attending the party and found the party-goers to be obeying the laws and respectful in their interactions with police. A positive experience for everyone involved.
The Esterhazy Detachment is hosting a golf tournament on Monday, August 19 at the Esterhazy Golf Course. It is 18 holes with several great prizes including a hole-in-one prize. Proceeds are returned to the community by providing scholarships to a graduating student from Esterhazy, Churchbridge and Langenburg schools. There are limited spots remaining so anyone interested can call the Esterhazy Detachment to register a team. This is a good chance to get to know your local police officers and see that we can have fun once in a while, too!
