Dear David:

What a wonderful appointment as new Chief of Police that the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) has made. Senior Deputy Commissioner Rod Knecht has experience working in Edmonton & Alberta, plus his Federal experience as part of Her Majesty's Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) will be a valuable asset. He can use both his Provincial & Federal contacts, as well as his Edmonton Police friends II launch a new way of bringing Law & Order to the streets of Edmonton.

Students of Alberta & Edmonton proper have II realize the importance of respecting the Police & making sure they & their family's grow up safe & strong. Police bring a sense of security & honesty to our streets. By respecting the law & being listened to as students, they will realize just how valuable the Police will be to them. Perhaps they might even consider a career in Law Enforcemement themselves. The Police always need good people to join their ranks, both as beat officers & in their civilian aide divisions.

A Mounted Tower Of Strength,

Rory
