RCMP officers were recognized for their service in their community and were presented with the King Charles III Coronation Medals in Duncan.
A total of 56 medals were issued on March, 20 to officers and staff across Vancouver Island, which recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the service, community and Canada as a whole.
According to police, 30,000 medals were awards to Canadians, and only 491 were allotted to be presented to RCMP in British Columbia’s E-Division.
Chief Superintendent Bruce Singer says recognizing those who have done so much in their community is a privilege he is proud to recognize.
“It truly is an honour and I take pride in presenting these individuals with this particular award,” he says. “From a leadership perspective, it’s important to recognize the valuable service and contribution these women and men in the RCMP have made throughout their careers.
“I also want to extend my special thank you to the spouses, partners and families of our recipients as their sacrifice and support will never be forgotten and is very much appreciated.”
The King’s Coronation Medal was struck by the Royal Canadian Mint to commemorate the Coronation of King Charles III in 2023.
