Ensuite, j'ai été témoin de quelque chose que je n'avais jamais vu en 25 ans de carrière : une vague de soutien de la population, et ce, bien au-delà de la région de Moncton. Des gens ont déposé des fleurs, des cartes et des ballons devant le Détachement de Codiac de la GRC, et un grand nombre de personnes ont soutenu les familles des gendarmes Larche, Ross et Gevaudan.

Then there was something else that I'd never seen in my 25 years as a police officer. A flood of community support that extended far beyond Moncton's borders. There were the obvious showings of support like the community memorial of flowers, cards and balloons in front of the Codiac detachment and the outpouring of support for the families of Cst. Larche, Cst. Ross and Cst. Gevaudan. There were also the smaller, spontaneous gestures, like strangers coming up to police officers and thanking them for the job they do each day. In September when I moved into my role as the Officer-in-Charge of the Codiac RCMP, I was struck, that even several months later, that community support had not wavered. People still asked how we were doing and were eager to help us solve crimes to keep our community safe. Today, that support is still strong and I see it each and every day.
