Preface

From 1961 to 1989 I was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrolling the small and sometimes isolated communities of the interior of British Columbia. For all but a few months I worked in uniform at the street and road level. These years of experience “where the rubber meets the road” generated this collection of stories. All are based on actual happenings, but I have taken some liberty in the telling. Most are from my experiences, but some are from the memories of friends and workmates.

Some are funny, some are very sad, and some are downright gruesome.

I have diligently searched for any contamination by political correctness and have found none.

These stories describe the way I saw things, and I would like to think that in most cases that was the way it actually was. In every case I tried to call a spade a spade, but I have, in some cases, called a spade a #!*!+ shovel.
