RED SERGE TIP
With Groundhog Day upon us, the Cut Knife RCMP would like to remind everyone that while the groundhog may enjoy seeing the same thing every year, police officers do not. Winter driving too fast, cars left idling unattended, valuables in plain sight and poor planning after a night out tend to repeat themselves like a bad movie. Whether winter sticks around or not, these preventable issues keep popping up.
This year, let's change the script, slow down, keep valuables out of sight and plan a safe ride home just in case life’s situation hits “replay”. Some traditions are fun, but calls to the RCMP don’t need to be one of them! Happy Groundhog Day! Hopefully I’m not writing this again tomorrow!
