A packed house at Peel Plaza for the monthly meeting of the Police Comnission as more than 20 members of the Saint John Police Department were honoured by RCMP Assistant Commissioner Roger Brown for their help in responding to the June 4th shooting tragedy in Moncton. Three RCMP officers were shot and killed by Justin Bourque and two others were wounded.
Brown says as that night unfolded and the reality of what was happening became clear, they realized that no one police organization could do it alone.
Constable Mike Young, one of the officers honoured at the ceremony says the partnership between City Police and the RCMP has gotten stronger because of what happened that night.
Brown says the City Police officers played a critical role in the operation from the initial call to the arrest of Bourque
