“As a police force, it is our job to look after the community, to look after you, but during our darkest days you looked after us,” reads a message at the beginning of the video.
The video features employees and volunteers of the Codia Regional RCMP and the two injured officers, Cst. Eric Dubois, Cst. Darlene Goguen.
