Homicide Det. Mike Cavilla has one of the toughest jobs in the Calgary Police Service.
Cavilla specializes in solving child homicides–some of the most horrific and challenging cases to solve.
For the 21-year CPS veteran officer, finding a way to de-stress and unwind from work is critical to his well-being.
That’s where rodeo comes in.
“To come out and ride horses and just to leave everything behind, the noisy city behind is just…it’s a real good thing, and important. Important to be able to balance that work and life,” he said.
Cavilla is the chute boss at the yearly Calgary Police Rodeo, and he’s the president of the CPS Rodeo Association.
First responders like EMS and firefighters as well as officers from other police agencies are also invited to the event.
Clint Buhler is one of the highlights of this year’s rodeo.
Not only is he a new constable with the Calgary Police Service, but he’s also one of the top ten professional team ropers in Canada.
The 34th annual Calgary Police Rodeo begins at 1 p.m. Saturday Aug. 13 at the Cochrane rodeo grounds. The rodeo supports the Missing Children Society of Canada.
