Fallen RCMP officers not only represent a loss to the detachment they serve but also means that a family has lost a son/daughter, a spouse has lost their partner and a family has lost a father/mother. This is unacceptable and the RCMP needs to be resourced so that 2 officers are dispatched for every call. Please help make this happen, after all the government has a surplus let's use it wisely. Please sign this petition and it will be submitted to Hon. Rob Nicholson in an effort to increase resources to allow adequate staffing of the RCMP and change policy so that two officers can respond to police dispatches.

We just hit 500 signatures while Rob Nicholson continues to ignore the obvious need for two-officer patrols. The government is hoarding a surplus while our officers face lethal danger alone. Keep hammering them until they finally listen.

The RCMP is failing their own officers by leaving them to face dangerous calls alone. We are almost at 500 signatures and Rob Nicholson needs to see that we are not backing down until he funds the two officer mandate.

The government is ignoring these avoidable tragedies while they sit on a budget surplus. We are almost at 100 signatures so blast this link out to everyone you know right now and force Rob Nicholson to look at our demands.

About time. Stop cutting corners with officer safety. Get them the resources they need now.

Should have been standard policy years ago. No one should be out there solo in a high risk situation.

My heart breaks for the families left behind. This is such a no brainer. Why is this even a question?? Send two officers every time.

Too many incidents where backup is way too far away. These officers put their lives on the line every day and deserve the backup they need before things go sideways.
